Santa and Mrs. Claus are scheduled to arrive in Elkton this year with the parade bringing them to visit Public Square at about 6 PM.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will visit with onlookers and sing carols on the Square starting at about 6:30 PM with carols led by West Side Church of Christ.
After the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus will then go to the Community House where children can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus and have a free picture made by Fire Chief Darrin Cole from about 7 PM to 9:30 PM. There will also be free refreshments sponsored by city of Elkton, Marklin Insurance and Elkton Clincic. ELkton Baptist Church and Pea Ridge Full Gospel Church will also provide free activities for children.
