DeFrance Antiques thanks its customers each year on the first Saturday of December with sweet treats, finger food and vendor sales. A special mailbox lets children write letters to Santa. An outdoor market with vendors runs in the west parking lot from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and the owner grills burgers and hot dogs to fund Christmas gifts for children in need.
Before you go
- Park at DeFrance Antiques, 230 Eglin Parkway SE.
- Browse the outdoor vendors in the west lot before 2:00 PM.
- Go inside for treats and vendor sales until 5:00 PM.
- Help children mail a letter to Santa.
What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-28.
DeFrance's events page describes the open house as a thank you to customers and prints no admission price.
Not confirmed: The price. The venue publishes none, so neither do we.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
The events page does not state a price, so confirm with the shop before planning a purchase budget.
