Santa Claus Arrives This Week at Holyoke Mall

HOLYOKE — Santa Claus is set to make his return from the North Pole to Holyoke Mall with a special arrival event this Saturday, Nov. 22. The magic begins at 11 a.m. with a fire truck arrival at the mall entrance next to Pickleball Kingdom, near JCPenney.

Guests are encouraged to arrive before 11 a.m. to gather for Santa’s arrival to make sure they don’t miss his grand entrance with the Holyoke Fire Department. Santa will be escorted to his village in Café Square by the Colby Academy of Dance, followed by a special holiday performance from the group.

The holiday festivities continue with free face painting and balloon twisting by Dazzle Day Face Painters. Photos with Santa are available in Café Square immediately following his arrival until Christmas Eve. Babies, children, families, and even pets are invited. Reservations are strongly encouraged and can be made by visiting whereissanta.com.
