HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) - Santa Claus is making his way to the Holyoke Mall from the North Pole on Saturday. He's set to roll in by firetruck at 10 am, and his grand arrival is happening outside the Red entrance of the mall near Round 1. But the Christmas magic doesn't stop there! Events to get families in the holiday spirit will run through noon. There will be festive fun, free face painting, balloon art, holiday music, a performance by Colby Academy of Dance, and of course, Santa will be available for photos. Santa's Village at the Holyoke mall is open through Christmas Eve on the lower level Honor Court near Mrs. Fields. While Saturday is Santa's first appearance, he'll be spreading holiday cheer all season long. You can bring your furry friends to Pet Night with Santa on November 25 or 26, December 2, or December 3. Santa Cares day is December 8, and that brings Santa's magic to an inclusive atmosphere. This holiday season, reservations to visit Santa are encouraged. You can find the reservation link, Santa's hours, and event information here.
