Geneseo's Christmas Walk
2024-12-14 08:00 - 20:00 | Geneseo
2024 Geneseo Christmas Walk presents: Too Many Santas!

Saturday December 14, 2024 in Geneseo, Illinois from 8a to 8p

Since 1986, Santa Claus has visited Geneseo, Illinois during it’s annual Geneseo Christmas Walk. Santa even visited during the Last Lighting in June! We thought it would be cool to honor St. Nick by having a Christmas Walk theme that honors Santa. And the “Too Many Santas” was born.

What is Too Many Santas? We want EVERYONE to dress like Santa Claus for this year’s Geneseo Christmas Walk. We are honoring Santa this year. Think “Where’s Waldo”, only with Santas everywhere! But where is the real Santa? Can you help us find him at the Geneseo Christmas Walk?

There will be “Too Many Santas” at the 2024 Geneseo Christmas Walk. Join us as we celebrate the one and only Santa Claus right here in Geneseo this holiday season.
Stay tuned for updated event information.
