“It’s the most interactive way for kids to make holiday wish lists! We’re excited to partner with Walmart and its vendors again to host Toyland for our community. It’s a festive, spirited day for the entire family and serves as an ideal launching point for the holiday season. We encourage guests to enjoy the Toyland experience and visit our brick-and-mortar retail shops and restaurants while downtown,” says DBI Executive Director Andrew Heath.
