5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Heritage Carousel in Union Park
1801 Pennsylvania Ave, Des Moines, Iowa

Join us at Union Park as we light the tree, enjoy FREE carousel rides, and welcome Santa back for the season. Enjoy hot cocoa, cookies, live music from the Greater Des Moines Community Band, and get a FREE holiday ornament (one per family, while supplies last).

? New this year: step into The Understory — a whimsical, fairy-inspired miniature world nestled beneath the pine trees around the carousel, created in partnership with InvestDSM and the Union Park neighborhood.

? Skip the line with the Rudolph Club!
A $50 minimum donation lets your party of five or fewer jump to the front of the line at your designated time. Spots are limited, so grab your Rudolph Club Ticket! All donations support the maintenance of the Carousel and keep our regular-season ride prices low for kids and adults alike!
