🎄 Christmas at the Cottage
Savannah Rapids Visitors Center | Saturday, November 29, 2025 | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Photos with Santa: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Step into a Hallmark-worthy holiday afternoon at Christmas at the Cottage, hosted at the historic Savannah Rapids Visitors Center. Celebrate Small Business Saturday and the joy of community with local artisans, delicious food, and festive family fun beside the scenic canal.
🎅 Meet Santa in the Historic Cottage
Santa Claus is coming to the Savannah Rapids! Visit the beautifully decorated cottage between 1:00 and 3:00 PM for free photos with Santa. A photographer will be on site, and guests are also welcome to take their own pictures.
To keep things merry and bright, families will receive a number upon arrival—so you can shop, snack, and stroll while waiting your turn to see Santa.
(Please note: pets are not permitted indoors due to space and allergy considerations.)
