Santa Claus is Coming to Town!


The Santa House sponsored by Downtown Milford, Inc. is busy preparing for Santa's arrival. Santa will come to town on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving which falls this year on November 24th. As in year's past, visitors can find Santa and Mrs. Claus at home in their little red house along the Mispillion Riverwalk, just off S. Walnut Street in downtown Milford. A variety of volunteers have been busy cutting and sewing stockings as well as filling those stockings with candy.

Santa will be in residence downtown each Friday from 6-8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. throughout the holiday season. He'll head North after 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 23rd.

Milford's own Christmas Carol Band will be on site Saturday, November 24th from 10:30-11:00 a.m. to welcome Santa to town. On Saturday, December 1st, the First State Harmonettes will perform from 10:30-11:00 a.m.

There is no charge for visiting Santa. Each child receives a photo, a stocking filled with candy, and an entry into the weekly drawing for a $100 savings bond.

Any questions about the Santa House can be directed to DMI Executive Director, Beth Durham at 302-839-1180.
