Giving Back to Community:

While the magic is boundless, the generosity knows no bounds. There is no admission fee, but the spirit of giving is encouraged through a suggested donation of $5 worth of non-perishable food or new children’s toys. Last year’s generous contributions enabled the City of Martin Parks & Recreation Department to deliver 24,000+ canned goods and 26 jumbo bags filled with new toys to WeCare in Martin. Together, attendees and staff truly made a giant impact for those in need during the holiday season.
