Santa Village & Holiday Market — FAQ
🎄Everything you need to know for a holly-jolly day in Cheviot! ❄️
🗓️ When is the Santa Village & Holiday Market?
December 6th from NOON to 5:00 PM.
📍 Where is the Santa Village & Holiday Market?
Downtown Cheviot in the municipal lot (GPS: 3709 Harrison Ave).
💵 How much is the entrance?
FREE!
👧🧒 Is this a kid-friendly event?
YES! We have three booths for children featuring Letters to Santa, fun games, and a free hot cocoa booth! ☕️🍫
📸 How much is a photo with Santa?
FREE! Santa’s in the workshop with a bench—feel free to take photos with your own phone or camera as the line permits.
🤝 Who is putting on the market?
The Cheviot Community Foundation (CCF) partnered with The Hive Market to make this year’s event possible.
🎁 Where does the money go collected from this market?
We combine support from WestFest and sponsors like MadTree Brewing, eXp Realty, Niehoff & Associates, and the WestSide Market to keep vendor fees low and all kids’ activities free. The market only makes money from adult beverages at our MadTree booth — and we’re donating 50% of all profits toward a new fire truck for the City of Cheviot. 🚒
🐾 Can I bring pets?
Yes — pets are welcome! Please keep them on a leash and clean up after them.
🐶 Can I have a photo taken with my dog and Santa?
Yes — dogs only. Santa is allergic to cats. 😿
🧑🤝🧑 I want to help. Can I volunteer?
Absolutely! We have a volunteer sign-up on our website, and everyone is welcome to attend CCF meetings.
🍔 What about food?
Enjoy baked-goods vendors plus Nacho Average Taco and Kung Fusion. N.Y.P.D. Pizza’s slice window will also be open during the event! 🍕
🚗 What about parking?
Parking is tight since the event takes place inside a parking lot, but we’ve secured St. Martin’s parking lot and Central Station (in the former Cappel’s building off Gamble).
