For the first time ever, we are happy to bring a Santa House to downtown Marietta every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month of December. Snap your own photo with Santa and then head out to our downtown shops and restaurants to #shoplocal and #dinelocal this holiday season!

The Gazebo in Muskingum Park will be decorated with care thanks to the Marietta Morning Rotary and the pathway will be lined with Christmas trees decorated by local organizations and businesses who are participating in our new Holiday Tree Walk.

Inside the Gazebo, Santa Claus will be sitting in his chair ready to have his photo taken with residents from across the MOV totally free of charge. Grab your friends and family members, your kiddos and your doggos, and come snap a picture with Santa!

Those wanting photos are responsible for taking them on their own, meaning a camera or mobile phone with camera capabilities will need to be used. Volunteers will be on hand to help take group photos as requested!

Hot cocoa and cookies will be distributed and, while photos with Santa are completely free, donations are encouraged for Marietta Main Street.
