Osseo MiniDazzle & Lunch With Santa: Two Days of Holiday Fun in Downtown Osseo
The City of Osseo is kicking off a magical winter weekend, and the volunteers of the Osseo Lions Club are thrilled to celebrate alongside you.
The fun begins with the Osseo MiniDazzle Celebration on Friday, December 5, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Boerboom Park (415 Central Avenue in downtown Osseo). This free, city-hosted community event brings neighbors together for a light parade down Main Street, pictures with Santa, a roaring bonfire, and the Osseo Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
As you stroll through town for MiniDazzle, be sure to visit the new winter village display in Boerboom Veterans Park.
The display has been in the loving care of members of the Osseo Lions for over a decade and is installed by volunteers each year. The display was installed for the 2025 holiday season this past week, allowing everyone to enjoy it all season long. Families can also stop by the North Pole Mailbox in the park, where kids can drop off their letters to Santa from December 4 through December 21—no postage required, just lots of holiday wishes and imagination.
The celebration continues the very next day as the Osseo Lions extend the weekend with our annual Lunch with Santa on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Osseo Community Center.
Kids under 12 eat free, adults can purchase a delicious holiday meal at the door, and every child can meet Santa, receive a free photo, and take home a goodie bag—all while enjoying a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Full details are available on the Lunch with Santa event page: https://www.osseolions.org/project/lunch-with-santa/
To make the season even more meaningful, the Osseo MiniDazzle Celebration will also collect toys for Toys for Tots and food donations for CROSS Food Shelf, helping to support local families during the holidays. Additionally, the North Pole Mailbox will be open this week, allowing you and your child to send a letter to Santa.
