Santa Claus is NOW coming to town on Nov. 26!

Jolly old St. Nick will be making an appearance at Winter on the Plaza, the City’s holiday tree lighting ceremony and kickoff to the Winter season. The event is slated for 5:30-7 p.m. at Market Plaza, 1053 Market Street.

In addition to Santa and the lighting of the holiday tree, there will be festive music, many vendors and free activities for kids. Activities will kick off at 5:30 p.m. Mayor Denny Magruder will welcome attendees at about 6:15 p.m., with Santa making a grand entrance shortly thereafter. The lighting of the tree will follow Santa’s arrival.
