Highlights of Santa’s Workshop will include meeting Santa Claus, kid-friendly crafts, holiday music,
cookies and hot cocoa, and outdoor train rides around Riverside Park. Photos with Santa are encouraged
and guests should bring their own camera as there will be no professional photographer on site. Craft
projects will be available to ‘take-and-make’ or can be done on site. Santa’s mailbox will be posted on the
outside of the building and letters to Santa can be dropped off any time of day between December 1 and
December 24, 2022.
“We want every child in Yankton to feel the warmth and magic of the holiday season and hope they
experience this when they visit Santa’s Workshop,” says co-chair Maggie Kaltsulas. “This event was a
huge success last year and we look forward to hosting this family-friendly event again this year.”
The Dakota Territorial Capitol Replica is located within Riverside Park at the intersection of S. Douglas
Avenue and Levee Street. The lower level is handicap accessible with a restroom on site. More
