The 24th Annual Hay Ride With Santa at Cove Island Park in Stamford promises plenty of seasonal cheer for families looking to kick off the holiday season. Taking place on two Saturdays, December 7 and December 14, 2024, this beloved tradition offers the magic of a horse-drawn hayride through the park. Rides will run from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM on both days.
Tickets go on sale November 1st for $8 per person and are open to Stamford residents only. Given the event’s history of selling out for 23 consecutive years, early purchase is recommended. Each ride is limited to 26 participants, with tickets sold in half-hour slots. Families can buy up to 10 tickets, but none will be available on the day of the event.
Santa will join the ride, leading holiday songs and spreading cheer. Kids can meet Santa afterward, sit on his lap, and receive a small treat. The festivities continue under the decorated pavilion, where visitors can enjoy cookies, hot cocoa, and holiday music.
Don’t miss this annual opportunity to create magical memories. The event promises a perfect blend of nostalgia and holiday fun, making it a delightful day for all.
