Santa and Mrs. Claus will be at Downtown Mocksville’s Main Street Park from 2-5 p.m. Saturday for a chance to share Christmas wishes and snap photos. A DJ will provide music from the alley in downtown.
A petting zoo from 2-4 p.m. will give children, and adults, a chance to meet some furry animals.

Mocksville’s buildings are bordered with white lights, as are the four oak trees on the town square. See them all from a horse and buggy Saturday evening from 6-8 p.m.
The buggy can hold 4-6 people, so bring the family and enjoy a free carriage ride down Main Street and the downtown area. Registration will be completed on-site upon arrival. Secure a place in line and receive a text alert when it’s your turn. There is no need to wait in line.
Carriages will depart from West Depot Street near The Foxhole Trading Company. Parking is available at Town Hall.
