A decades-old South Florida holiday tradition won’t be happening this Christmastime.

A traveling carnival worker is facing an aggravated battery charge in Miami-Dade County after stabbing a man while waiting in a food line at Santa’s Enchanted Forest just after 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to Medley police.

Christmas is back on at Tropical Park. According to a brief sent to Local 10 News on Friday, a judge has denied Santa’s Enchanted Forest’s preliminary lawsuit against the new Holiday themed park, Christmas Wonderland.

Santa’s Enchanted Forest is suing Miami-Dade County over a new attraction taking its place at Tropical Park.

After 34 years of entertaining South Florida residents during the holiday season, the end may be near for Santa’s Enchanted Forest. Miami-Dade County is currently looking for proposals to replace the makeshift theme park which resides at Tropical Park for nearly two months at the end of every year. Since 1984, the owners of Santa’s Enchanted Forest have leased the land from the county with the current agreement set to expire on March 14. With rides, food stands and holiday displays featuring more than three million lights, Santa’s Enchanted Forest has become a holiday favorite and traditional visit for many in South Florida. Park management says more than one million people visit Santa’s Enchanted Forest each year.
