2024 City Santa 

supported by:


City Santa arrives in Downtown Boise and ho-ho-ho’s his way into The Grove Plaza starting the evening of December’s First Thursday. Santa is free to visit, bring your wish list and camera or phone to grab a magical photo with the jolliest of elves. This event supports the Women’s and Children’s Alliance. Donations are welcome and appreciated.


Here’s what to know:

  • Visits are on a first come, first served basis. DBA staff reserve the right to end the line at our discretion in order to make sure that everyone queued up gets to visit with Santa in the time allotted.
  • The line will form outside. Dress warm!
  • You can take your own photo – bring a camera or phone!
  • This event supports the Women’s and Children’s Alliance. Donations are welcome and appreciated.



Dates: Weather pending. If it's too cold or rainy and Glide on Grove is closed, City Santa will be closed too. Closures due to weather will be announced on our Instagram @downtownboise.
