Several Boys Town youth took to the stage to share their inspiring stories, highlighting the impact of the organization’s work. The Seminole High School Festival Choir performed Christmas favorites throughout the program and sang “Here Comes Santa Claus” to kick off Santa Dan’s grand arrival, escorted by the Oviedo Fire Department.


Attendees were encouraged to explore the Boys Town campus and partake in the various activities available. Bellies were filled throughout the journey thanks to the delicious food trucks and booths hosted by food sponsors. DJ Sisco kept the atmosphere lively with holiday tunes while the kids enjoyed bouncing around in the Ladies 327 Kid Zone. Guests toured five decorated family homes, each with a unique Christmas theme ranging from the Grinch to a winter wonderland. They also participated in voting for their favorite home as well as their favorite gingerbread door, adding a fun and interactive element to the night.


All in all, the night was nothing short of magical.
