Why this petition matters

Started by Blake Egozi

Santa’s Enchanted Forest (SEF), the World’s Largest Holiday Theme Park, has been a South Florida annual holiday tradition for more than 37 years.  Each year, hundreds of thousands of Miami Dade residents visit Santa’s Enchanted Forest, including more than 30,000 underprivileged children and families that are admitted FREE. As SEF’s lease with Miami-Dade County comes to an end in March 2020 and the land at Tropical Park undergoes the lengthy duration of a new solicitation process, the community is at risk of losing this beloved holiday event and over 1000 jobs for the 2020 holiday season.

While Santa's plans on bidding for a new long term lease agreement and spending millions of dollars in park improvements to benefit the community, that decision will not take place in time for the 2020 season. 

This petition only addresses a one-year extension for 2020 while the competitive bid solicitation process is ongoing. 

Help keep the holiday magic alive and urge Miami Dade to extend Santa’s Enchanted Forest’s lease at Tropical Park for the 2020 Holiday Season.
