Ho Ho Ho Hike and Holiday Celebration

December 5, 2026 from 10 am - 12:30 pm.
Kreher Preserve & Nature Center

The Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center (JDCAC), Kreher Preserve and Nature Center and East Alabama Community Ballet present Ho-Ho-Ho Hike and Holiday Celebration every winter season.

Children of all ages are invited to this Holiday Celebration  at the beginning of December each year at the Kreher Preserve and Nature Center. The Preserve will be turned into a Winter Wonderland, full of nature-themed crafts, performances, cookies, hot chocolate and a visit from Mrs. Claus. This event will also include the traditional Ho Ho Ho Hike, a unique and fun "Santa-hunt" where you will hike the Preserve looking for the elusive visitor in red, meeting many of nature's creatures along the way. Wear your comfortable walking shoes and come celebrate the holiday season with the Clauses!

The cost is $15 per person (adults must have a ticket and children must be accompanied by an adult); children under the age of 24 months are FREE with the purchase of an adult ticket. Ticket sales will be announced as we near the event.
