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).
