Papillion’s Winter Wonderland leads Sarpy County’s holiday start
Downtown Papillion lights up on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and the city's Breakfast with Santa follows in December. Here is what has been confirmed so far.
Sarpy County’s biggest holiday night out is in downtown Papillion on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Winter Wonderland, Saturday, Nov. 28, 4 to 8 p.m. The Papillion Community Foundation’s Winter Wonderland fills downtown with carriage and hayrack rides, Santa at the Historic Portal Schoolhouse and free hot chocolate, all under more than 800,000 lights. The foundation lists 109 N. Washington St. as its downtown address. Go early if you have small kids who want time with Santa.
Breakfast with Santa, Saturday, Dec. 12, 9 to 11 a.m. The City of Papillion’s Breakfast with Santa is $15 a person, and registration runs Nov. 1 through Dec. 4. The city’s page did not list the location when we checked, so look there before you register. We will add it to the calendar once a venue is posted.
After dark. If the kids still have energy, Papio Bowl runs cosmic bowling on Friday and Saturday nights. Walk-ins are $20 plus tax per bowler, shoes included.
We list only details confirmed on each organizer’s own page. Times and prices can change, so check the links before you head out.
