Celebrate the magic of the season at the annual Portage Traditional Holiday and Tree Lighting Celebration at the Mayor's Tree in the City Centre. This cherished event begins with the reading of the winning "I Love Portage" essay by Portage students. The festivities continue with Portage High School singers heralding the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Stuart Manor will host Santa and Mrs. Claus, who will greet children and listen to their holiday wishes while spreading festive cheer. The 1856 one-room Schoolhouse hosts letter writing to Santa. Listen to the choir and live brass band, marvel at the ice sculpture demonstrations, and warm your hands by a toasty fire. Enjoy complimentary milk and cookies provided by the Portage Community Center (donations accepted).
