Santa Stepped into the Spotlight

This December, the holiday season took center stage as Santa at the Market brought Jolly Old Saint Nick to the Inspiration’s Edge booth at the Twentynine Palms Farmers Market. Over three festive Saturdays, families, kids, pets, and friends gathered to share smiles, snap photos, and soak in the magic of the season.

The Market transformed into a joyful holiday scene as visitors lined up to meet Santa; some shy, some bursting with excitement, all leaving with memories captured in merry photographs. Throughout the mornings, the air was filled with giggles, warm conversations, and genuine community connection. But beyond the festive fun, this event carried something even more meaningful: A portion of all proceeds supports Inspiration’s Edge and our mission to bring the stage to the community.

Santa at the Market is a perfect example of the many unique ways that mission comes to life. Theatre isn’t just what happens on a stage—it’s the moments of connection, storytelling, imagination, and shared experience that bind a community together. Whether through a full theatrical production or a visit with Santa, we are honored to help create spaces where those moments can shine.

As you scroll through the photos below, we hope you feel the same warmth and joy we experienced throughout the month. Thank you to everyone who came out, shared a laugh, made a memory, or supported our work. Your presence keeps the spirit of Inspiration’s Edge glowing bright all year long.

Happy Holidays from the IE team; we can’t wait to see you on the Edge in 2026!
