Santa Claus is coming to town on Nov. 20! Jolly old St. Nick will be making an appearance at Winter on the Plaza, the City’s holiday tree lighting ceremony and kick off to the Winter season. The event is slated for 5:30-7 p.m., at the Plaza on Market, 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 6:15 p.m., with Santa making a grand entrance shortly thereafter. The lighting of the tree will follow Santa’s arrival. Kids will also have the opportunity to share their holiday wishes with Santa before he heads back to the North Pole. Winter on the Plaza is expected to conclude at 7 p.m.

Those interested in participating as a vendor, free of charge, can call 304-234-6432.
