Free photos with Santa at the historic Lake County Courthouse run weekends Nov 28 through Dec 20, 2026, from noon to 4 p.m., capped by Wassailing on the Square on Saturday, Dec 19, at 5:30 p.m.
Crown Point makes the historic courthouse square a holiday destination all December. Free photos with Santa take place weekends from Nov 28 through Dec 20, noon to 4 p.m., in the lower level of the Lake County Courthouse, and the season caps with Wassailing on the Square on Saturday, Dec 19, at 5:30 p.m., when the community gathers on the square to sing carols. It is a picture-perfect, small-town way to spend a holiday afternoon, with the decorated square, shop windows, and the courthouse's clock tower as the backdrop. Park downtown, grab a hot drink from a local cafe, and make an afternoon of it.
