Santa at the Market: Expanding the Stage to Spread Holiday Cheer

This holiday season, we took performance beyond the stage all the way to the 29 Palms Farmers Market!

On November 23, December 7, and December 21, our booth transformed into a winter wonderland as Santa Claus joined Inspiration’s Edge for a series of festive mornings. Families lined up for photos, little ones shared their holiday wishes, and we all got to bask in the joy that only a Santa visit can bring.

Why Santa at the Market? Because at Inspiration’s Edge, we love expanding the traditional idea of performance. Theatre isn’t just about scripts and stages, it’s about creating moments of connection, joy, and storytelling wherever our community gathers. Whether it’s a fully staged production, an improv night, or a morning with Santa, we believe in making space for all kinds of theatrical magic.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, snapped a picture, and supported our mission. Your donations went directly toward helping us bring more theatre and more joy to the Hi-Desert, Twentyine Palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and maybe even the North Pole!

And a very special thank-you to Santa himself for helping us spread a little holiday cheer.
