TAMPA, FL. (NOVEMBER 9, 2026) - - The Tampa Police Department is happy to announce that registration is now open for its annual Enchanted Wonderland holiday event. Hosted in partnership with Rise Tampa, Our Police Foundation, Kids Wish Network, and Walmart, this community-focused initiative brings holiday cheer to local families by providing toys to children in need across the Tampa community. Building on the success of past years, where over 1,500 children received gifts, this year's growing event hopes to reach even more families.
The 2026 Enchanted Wonderland will take place on Saturday, December 12, and serves children from newborn to 14 years old. Because space is limited, early pre-registration is encouraged, and children must be present at the event to participate. Families interested in participating can register online by going to tampa.gov/form/enchanted-wonderland.
Throughout the year, Tampa Police respond to calls involving families facing distress and difficult circumstances. TPD's Enchanted Wonderland offers officers, professional staff, and volunteers an opportunity to step up and connect with the community under much more joyful conditions.
Approximately 50 Tampa Police Officers and professional staff, along with Tampa Police Explorers and community volunteers, will be on-site to distribute toys generously donated by Kids Wish Network and Walmart. Participating families include children from TPD's Resources in Community Hope (RICH) House program, the Tampa Police Athletic League (PAL), local military families, and members of the community needing extra holiday support.
Families are encouraged to reserve their spot today by visiting the registration page before space fills up.
