2nd Annual Candy Cane Hunt & Christmas Festival

It's Coming Back - Bigger and Better!

By Macaroni Jacqui! July 17, 2017


We are downright THRILLED to be throwing our 2nd Annual Candy Cane Hunt & Christmas Festival on December 2 from 10-2pm at the Max K Rodes Community Center in Melbourne! We are even more thrilled to have St. Jude's Children's Hospital as our not-for-profit Beneficiary!

A New and Unique Family Event

We're used to Easter Egg Hunts, and boy do we love them! Embark on a new hunt full of Candy Canes! Plus, we will have 5 golden candy canes hidden. If your kid finds a golden one, they will receive a fun prize! This year, we are proud to present our first Special Needs/Developmentally Disabled Candy Cane Hunt. Registration will be required to ensure there is enough space for everyone!

Tons of Unique Fun for All Ages

For the adults, we have our famous Christmas Bazaar with over 50 local vendors. Forget Black Friday Madness! This conveniently takes place one week after Thanksgiving, right after payday! (#YoureWelcome)

For Teens, we have the Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course and a Game Room. They also have the opportunity to volunteer in exchange for Community Service Hours!

For Kids, we have Bounce Houses, Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course, Pictures with Santa, Princess Hair-Do, Elf Hair Do, Face Painting, Balloon Animals, Sticker Scavenger Hunt, the opportunity to give back by making cards for Senior Citizens, and themed fun rooms!

For Toddlers, we have a Toddler Zone with a Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo, Face Painting, Princess and Elf Hair Do Station, Pictures with Santa, toddler bounce house, Balloon Animals and more!

Nostalgic and current Christmas and Holiday tunes will be played, there will be free coffee and hot chocolate AND each vendor will have a giveaway, activity or goodie for each guest who stops by! Kind of like a trunk or treat...but for Christmas!

A Great Way to Give Back

Our Not-for-profit beneficiary is St. Jude's Children's Hospital - meaning a portion of all our Sponsorships, raffle tickets and profits will be donated to help end childhood cancer! This is a great way to give back this holiday season. We have worked directly with St. Jude's, and couldn't be any more thrilled to support such a wonderful cause!

Great! How Much?

Free, my friends! Everything is 100% free! Even the face painting, balloon animals, hair do station and more! We do ask that you bring loose change or singles so you can tip our vendors giving out these unique and fun experiences for your family. If you cannot tip, please still come and visit them!

Registration is required! Head on over HERE to register you and your family to come. In order to attend this FREE Family event, you must be signed up for South Brevard Macaroni Kid. If you aren't, don't worry! We will take care of that for you once you register.
