Community events carry meaning. They are traditions families return to year after year, moments that reflect the character of a town, organization, or neighborhood.

Santa and You approaches these events with intention and respect—understanding that representing Santa in a public setting is both an honor and a responsibility. Every appearance is planned to align with the scale, tone, and purpose of your event, ensuring the experience feels seamless, welcoming, and appropriate for all ages.

Santa and You supports a wide range of community-focused events, including:

• Tree lightings and holiday ceremonies

• Parades and seasonal processions

• Municipal and civic celebrations

• Community festivals and holiday markets

• Nonprofit and charitable events

• School, church, and neighborhood gatherings

Each event is unique. Santa’s role may be ceremonial, interactive, or quietly supportive—always shaped to complement your programming rather than compete with it.

Public events require more than enthusiasm—they require awareness.

Santa Ben brings a calm, confident presence that allows him to engage warmly with guests while remaining attentive to schedules, crowd flow, and event leadership. Interactions are genuine and unrushed, whether greeting families along a parade route, supporting a stage moment, or spending time with guests during an open community gathering.

This balance ensures the experience feels joyful without ever becoming chaotic.

Behind every successful community event is thoughtful coordination.

Santa and You works collaboratively with organizers, volunteers, and staff to ensure Santa’s role fits naturally within your event plan. Arrival timing, movement through the space, photo opportunities, and guest interactions are all handled with care—helping your event run smoothly while keeping the focus where it belongs: on the community.

For many guests, especially children, a community event may be their first time meeting Santa.

Those moments are treated with care and respect. Santa Ben engages in ways that feel welcoming and inclusive—meeting children at their comfort level, acknowledging families warmly, and creating moments that feel sincere rather than staged.

The result is an experience guests talk about long after the decorations come down.

Santa and You has proudly supported municipalities, organizations, and community leaders across Central Ohio. Our reputation is built on reliability, professionalism, and a clear understanding of what public events require.

When you partner with Santa and You, you gain more than an appearance—you gain a trusted presence who understands the importance of your event and the people it serves.

Community events are scheduled thoughtfully and often far in advance. Availability is limited and carefully managed to ensure each appearance receives the attention it deserves.

We encourage organizers to begin the conversation early so details can be aligned with your vision, timeline, and audience.
