Kick off the holiday season in true elf fashion at Jingle & Mingle with the Elves! Enjoy an afternoon bursting with creativity, holiday cheer, and a sprinkle of North Pole magic.

6:00-8:00pm: Santa’s After Party Costume Contest
After Santa lights up the town and heads back to the North Pole, the adults keep the magic going! Santa’s After Party invites Spokane’s grown-up elves, reindeer, and holiday enthusiasts to dress up, sip, and celebrate downtown’s merry season kickoff in style.
Guests are encouraged to come in creative holiday costumes—from classic Christmas movie characters to over-the-top ugly sweaters, glamorous winter wear, or even clever group costumes (like Santa’s Workshop crew or a full nativity scene with a twist).
