Breakfast with Santa Tickets Open Ahead of the Weekend
Perry, GA · November 13, 2026
A crisp chill is hugging downtown storefronts early this morning. Plenty is rolling once the sun warms up, from tractor pulls to early holiday ticket rushes.
The Lead
The rush for local holiday traditions is quietly underway across town, and several of the season's most sought-after tickets are open for booking this morning. City officials opened reservations for the annual Breakfast with Santa at the Perry Events Center on December 5, a community staple that routinely sells out within days of release. Meanwhile, downtown merchants and organizers are finalizing schedules for Small Business Saturday and the Christmas tree lighting on Carroll Street on November 28, closely followed by the Pajama Holiday Bash in mid-December. With regional draws like next week's Mistletoe Market also taking pass orders, families looking to lock in their December plans will want to claim morning breakfast slots before popular times fill up completely.
