"A downtown holiday festival running on select dates from early November through Christmas Eve featuring free holiday-themed shows at the corner of Palafox Place and Government Street; attendees can reserve photos with Santa or the Grinch and ride themed open-air trolley tours—one based on "The Polar Express" that includes a tap-dancing performance on the courthouse steps, a cup of hot cocoa, and a 20-minute musical journey, and two others inspired by "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" with costumed characters and plentiful photo ops." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
