Selma Santa Train 2026

All aboard for a magical holiday adventure! Join Selma Parks & Recreation for the Selma Santa Train, a festive family experience filled with Christmas cheer, holiday fun, and special memories with Santa!

Saturday, December 12, 2026
The adventure begins at the Selma-Smithfield Station, where families will board the train for a holiday ride to Wilson. Enjoy time with Santa, holiday treats, Christmas carols, a special keepsake ornament, and plenty of festive fun along the way!

There will be opportunities for holiday photo ops at both train stations! Be sure to arrive before boarding at the Selma-Smithfield Station to allow time for photos before the train departs. If you miss the photo opportunity in Selma, don't worry — there will be another chance to take photos when we arrive at the Wilson train station!

Once in Wilson, families can enjoy the Art Spin Downtown Christmas Celebration, featuring train rides, holiday markets, carnival rides, family activities, and more.

Train Schedule:
Depart Selma-Smithfield Station at 1:11 PM and arrive in Wilson at 1:38 PM. Depart Wilson at 5:33 PM and arrive back at Selma-Smithfield Station at 6:01 PM.
