2026 Jingle Bell Hayride and Donation Drive

About this event

Enjoy a festive hayride, Big Basket Raffle, and roast marshmallows. Visit the holiday decorated farmhouse museum. Take pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Buddy the Elf and the Grinch. Complimentary goodie bag and warm drinks by Stony Man Coffee included.

Jingle Bell Hayride tickets are $10.00 per person, plus processing fee. Children 2 and under are free, but may be asked to ride on the accompanying adult’s lap.

All attendees, even those 2 and under riding for free, must pre-register. All Children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder.

On the day of the event, attendees must show their Ticketleap tickets (printed or displayed on a phone) at the check-in station at the Black Oak Pavilion.

Wristband received at check-in must be worn by all ticket holders while at the event. This year, it is necessary for us to enforce this policy

Friends of Kinder Farm Park members will find special instructions for applying the free hayride tickets they received with their membership towards ticket discounts by visiting https://form.jotform.com/262678090630157

Each ticket purchased by December 4, 2026, will be entered into a drawing for a gift basket. Need not be present to win. Winning ticket will be drawn at 1:00.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive at the event at 10:00 AM and will depart at 1:00 PM. So plan your timing at the event to provide enough time for children to visit with Santa and take the 20 - 25 minute Hayride.

Gate fees apply. A park pass, to cover gate fees, can be purchased online at https://yourpassnow.com/ParkPass/parks/aaco/park/kinder

Scout Troop 993 will collect, load up and deliver the donated supplies to GBLL, which distributes the much needed items to our brothers and sisters without homes in downtown Baltimore on Christmas Eve. GBLL is seeking coats, hats, gloves, new/gently used warm clothing (all ages/both genders), sleeping bags, blankets, toys, travel size toiletries, new underwear and baby items such as diapers, baby seats, clothes and formula, and non-perishable food items.
