Friday, December 5, 2025 - 4:30-7:00 pm
Stearns County Pioneer Grounds  

We had almost 500 children participate in Albany's Santa Day this year! Children received a tote bag of goodies from Santa (and our local businesses). Plus two Jeep Power Wheels were given away (thanks to Outdoorica!).
Indoors, children had the opportunity to drop off their Christmas letter for Santa and Mrs. Claus, visit with them one on one, and have a FREE professional family photo opportunity (thanks to Samantha at Rule Creative Co.)! 
Outdoors, families strolled the lighted Pioneer Village display, took tractor/train rides, met the Grinch, listened to Christmas Carolers, and enjoyed s'mores and hot cocoa while enjoying staying warm by the fire barrels! It truly was a night to remember!
