Broad Ripple Lights Up Holiday Festival

Broad Ripple lights up for an evening of family fun, community spirit, and twinkling holiday cheer. The neighborhood’s Wonderland Village sets the tone with kid-focused activities, meet-and-greets with Santa, and live music that keeps the energy up as everyone explores the booths and photo spots.

Families can rotate between crafts, visits with Santa, and the entertainment stage, then make their way toward the parade route as the evening builds. There are many places to watch along the course, so it is easy to find a comfortable viewing spot with the kids. Plan a little extra time for parking and walking in, and bring what your family needs to stay warm while you wait for the first floats to arrive.

Schedule Highlights

• 3:00–5:00 pm: Wonderland Village open with children’s activities, Santa visits, and musical entertainment
• 5:30 pm: Broad Ripple Lights Up Parade steps off

Look for route maps posted on site and online, and choose a viewing area that works for strollers and little legs. Keep an eye out for festive floats, local performers, and plenty of lights as the parade brings the night to a close.
