New Haven, Indiana (November 19, 2025) — The City of New Haven is gearing up to ring in the holiday season.

Holiday Homecoming serves not only as a way to celebrate the season, but also as a way to engage the community and local businesses. “This event is a great way to close out the year,” said New Haven Mayor Steve McMichael. “As we enter a season of love and joy, we hope residents will join us in the fun and share a moment of cheer, remembering all the things that make our city so beautiful!”
This event will kick off with a performance by the Woodlan High School Choir at 5 p.m. followed by Santa’s arrival at 5:30 p.m.to light up Downtown New Haven. Santa will be joined by 4th grader Briella S., who recently won the mayor’s annual Christmas card contest.
