Let us help you get in the spirit with our
exciting December Holiday events! 
  1. Holiday Park & South Pole: Nov 28- Jan 1, Krug and Hyde Parks The largest annual holiday lights display in Northwest Missouri will once again take place at Krug Park at the northern end of St. Joseph's famed Parkway. Started in 1981, today more than 100,000 visitors drive through each year to see the lavish display of lighted arches and trees, winter scenes and the park's lovely Italianate buildings breathtakingly outlined in lights. At the southern end of the Parkway, Hyde Park also will be dazzlingly lit for the holiday season. Admission is free to both parks, though donations are accepted.
  2. NunCrackers - The Nunsense Christmas Musical: Dec 5-7, Robidoux Landing Playhouse
    The Nunsense Christmas Musical, NUNCRACKERS, is presented as the first TV special taped in the Cable Access Studio built by Reverend Mother in the convent basement. Featuring all new songs including "Twelve Days Prior to Christmas," "Santa Ain't Comin' to Our House," "We Three Kings of Orient Are Us" and "It's Better to Give than to Receive." It's the perfect way to insure that your holiday season is merry and bright!
  3. Breakfast with Santa: Dec 6, Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art
    Join us at the Albrecht-Kemper when Santa's pancakes are served hot off the griddle with sausage, juice, coffee, and a special treat for the kids! Breakfast will be served from 9:00 - 11:00 am. Call the museum to reserve your spot with the time you'd like to come and the number in your party. Stay and help Santa's elves at the Gingerbread Workshop. Handmake your own gingerbread house with icing and goodies that you pick out. (2 workshops available 10:00 am and 11:30 am) Seating is limited and Reservations are required for both breakfast and the workshop. Cost is $10 per person for Breakfast and $10 per child for the workshop.
  4. Christmas at the Square: Dec 6, Coleman Hawkins Park on Felix Street Square
    Head downtown at Felix Street Square and help us officially usher in the holiday season with an evening of Christmas cheer. Enjoy live Christmas music at the gazebo, visit and have your photo taken with Santa Claus, and take a ride in a horse drawn sleigh on the evening of Saturday December 6th. Other events include a craft booth, storytelling by St. Joseph librarian Will Stuck, and the lighting of The Mayor's Christmas tree. It's also a great night to take a stroll around downtown and see the holiday window displays decorated by the downtown businesses, and to see firsthand all of the new lights and decorations added this year. 
  5. Irving Berlin's White Christmas: Dec 12-14, Missouri Theatre
    Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical features 17 Irving Berlin songs. Two veterans have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, they follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge. The dazzling score features well known standards including "Blue Skies," "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," and the perennial favorite, "White Christmas."
  6. Mayors Children's Christmas Party: Dec 13, Bode Ice Arena
