Fishers Parks turns its downtown pavilion into Jingle Bell Junction for a week of themed holiday nights. Families can build a project in Santa’s Workshop with Maker Playground staff, make wrapping paper and cards, play kids bingo, listen to live jazz and shop a winter market and a holiday thrift sale.
Most nights are free drop-in events with no registration. Cookies With Characters is the exception: guests meet holiday characters and decorate sugar cookies, and everyone in the group must register in advance, including children 2 and under, who are free.
