This year's event includes appearances by Santa and the return of his live reindeer. There will also be children's activities at Santa's Workshop, a 12-foot-high holiday bounce house, a farm animal petting zoo, face-painting and holiday-themed performances by the West Boca Raton Community High School choir, Organic Movements Dance School and Grandview Preparatory School.
