Celebrate the start of the holiday season in Galena with the Jeep Jingle at 5 PM, Santa’s tree lighting, and an evening of treats, activities, and festive fun at the Old Market House.
Join us in welcoming Santa to town to kick off the holiday season here in Galena.
The fun begins at 5 pm with a fleet of Jeeps for the Jeep Jingle headed down Main St to bring Mr. & Mrs. Claus to town. Then follow the fleet to the Old Market House at 123 N Commerce St to watch Santa light the town tree for the season. From 6-7 pm, kids can mingle with Santa, enjoy treats and activities, and see many of the magical jeeps up close.
