There is no charge for spectators to visit the show area, but we do ask that you make a toy or monetary donation to Toys for Tots while visiting. Again, please ignore any messages you may see asking you to pre-register, as the MCT does not do pre-registration.

If you can't make it to the event, you can make a monetary donation directly to TFT by scanning the QR Code on the event flyer.
