BLOOMINGTON – The City of Bloomington invites local children and their families to a festive Winter Wonderland and Holidays Around the World celebration at the Banneker Community Center at 930 West 7th Street on Saturday, December 9, from noon until 4:00 p.m.
This free event promises seasonal activities, including arts and crafts, cookie decorating, holiday carols, complimentary photos with Santa, and a toy giveaway. Embracing the spirit of diversity, the event will also showcase holidays worldwide.
This year, a special two-hour sensory-sensitive experience will be held from noon until 2:00 p.m., thoughtfully designed for families seeking a gentle atmosphere with low-light and low-sound settings will take place.
Families interested in capturing photos with Santa in this sensory-sensitive environment can schedule appointments at bloomington.in.gov/csbm, during the designated time. Those who prefer to skip the photo session but want to partake in the sensory sensitivity experience may join between noon and 2 p.m.
To volunteer and contribute to the success of Winter Wonderland and Holidays Around the World, please register online at bloomington.in.gov/csbm.
For any inquiries or additional information regarding the event or the toy drive, please contact Safe and Civil City Director Shatoyia Moss at mosss@bloomington.in.gov or 812-349-3559.
