A Very Grinchy Christmas: Holiday Family Fun in St. John

St. John's 'A Very Grinchy Christmas' brings a holiday family celebration to Prairie West Park on Saturday, Dec 5, 2026, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Even the Grinch would warm up to this one. St. John hosts 'A Very Grinchy Christmas' on Saturday, Dec 5, 2026, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Prairie West Park, a holiday family celebration that lands right in the middle of the town's Christmas in the Park season. Bundle up, grab the kids, and make an evening of it: the Festival of Lights glows at the same park through New Year's Day, so one visit covers both. Details are posted on the town's events page as the date nears.
