As part of Fernie’s holiday tradition, the Park Place Lodge is hosting a special visit from Old Saint Nick.

This will serve as the 20th year that the PPL has hosted this wonderful community event.

The Breakfast Buffet will run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, with two seating times at 9:00 am and 10:45 am.

It will feature a variety of items including Pastries, Fresh Fruit, Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns, Bacon, Sausages, Fruit Juice, Cold Cereals, and a Deluxe Pancake Station with Buttermilk Pancakes.

The cost for the Buffet will be $19 for Adults, $15 for Youth & Senior (10-14) and $6 for Children (9 and under).

In addition to breakfast, children will have the opportunity to meet Santa to discuss their Christmas wish lists and have a photo taken with Santa Claus. Photos with Santa will be by donation, and you may sign up for emailed digital copies.

Each year, the PPL directs funds raised through the Santa breakfast to local community organizations. $6 from every Santa breakfast sold will be donated to East Kootenay Angel Flight.

Due to Covid-19, proof of vaccination (age 12+) and mask mandates are required for attending this event. In addition distancing guidelines and specific interaction policies while visiting with Santa will also be in place. Please contact the hotel for additional information.

Reservations required. Please call the PPL at 1-250-423-6871 to make a reservation.
