Holiday in the Park

Step into the glow of the season during Holiday in the Park, a festive celebration that transforms Downtown South Haven into a sparkling winter wonderland. Twinkling holiday lights line the streets, storefronts glow with seasonal charm, and the air fills with the sounds, scents, and spirit of the holidays.

Browse handmade gifts and seasonal treasures at the Mistletoe Market inside the South Haven Center for the Arts, then stick around for family-friendly crafts and creative activities throughout the day. Just outside, lace up your skates at the South Haven Ice Rink and glide beneath the lights as the festivities unfold around you.

Warm up in Dyckman Park with s’mores and sweet holiday treats before gathering along the streets for the beloved Paws and Claus Holiday Parade, where festive floats, cheerful pups, and holiday characters bring plenty of cheer for all ages. Be sure to stop by for complimentary photos with Santa and his entire crew, creating memories that will last long after the season ends.

As the evening continues, enjoy the lively atmosphere of the South Haven Social District, where visitors can stroll through downtown with a festive beverage in hand while soaking in the glowing lights, music, and community spirit.

From holiday shopping and skating to parades, treats, and visits with Santa, Holiday in the Park is a magical way to celebrate the season in South Haven on Lake Michigan.
