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

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.
