Get ready to experience the magic of Holiday on The Drive—where Edgewater Drive transforms into a sparkling, high-energy holiday hub.

This festive celebration brings the entire community together with hands-on activities for kids, a curated artisan vendor village perfect for one-of-a-kind gift hunting, and music and entertainment that fill the district with seasonal cheer. And yes—Santa makes his appearance, adding even more joy to an already unforgettable evening.
