Santa will arrive at 6 p.m.
Among new attractions:

The town also will collect toys for the United Way of Johnson County Christmas Angels program.
Holiday-themed confectionary vendors will line Baldwin Street. They include returnees Main & Madison, Coffee Cake Guys, Taxman and Mallow Run, and new vendors such as Dudley’s Toffee, Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, Jack and Jill Nut Shop, Travelin’ Toms, and Salt and Light Bakery.
Entertainment will be at a new stage location and include the Southside Jazzers, caroling with the Greenwood Community High School Choir and a performance from Next Level Dance. Santa will be in attendance, along with live reindeer and activities for kids.
“Our inaugural event was a hit, and we hope to attract even more participants this year. Between our beautiful downtown lights, our cozy atmosphere, and activities for everyone, we will continue to build this celebration year after year,” said Town Council President Andrew Greenwood.
