You are invited to join Sarasota County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources for the annual Merry Meals with Santa events. At each event, there will be fun games, crafts, photos with Santa, and a gift for each child under 12. Best of all, this is a free event, thanks to the generosity of our donors and sponsors. Please note that the meal items have been generously donated and may contain allergens. We are unable to guarantee that all allergy requirements can be accommodated.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
These free holiday celebrations include a meal, festive music, a toy giveaway and a special visit from Santa.
