Here are just a few of Cary’s holiday events.
Photos with Santa
Santa wil be at Downtown Cary Park several times in December, plus one time at Carpenter Fire Station Road Park. Bring your camera. These are free events. Please keep in mind that there will be a wait! This is not a drop-off event. Please stay with your child.
