About this Article

Santa's Enchanted Castle in Antioch has been a family favorite for the holiday season for 25 years. But with major structural concerns, the old castle is being retired. The village and Antioch Chamber of Commerce are assembling a new tradition to be known as Santa's Enchanted Village at the village hall.
