Date Set For Santa’s Grand Arrival Celebration at MarketFair in Princeton, NJ

Can you feel it? The excitement of the holiday season is starting to fill the air, along with a few snow flurries yesterday. Did you see them? The first flurries of the season always make me giddy.

Holiday preparations have begun just about everywhere, including MarketFair (Route 1 South).

Santa Claus arrives at MarketFair on November 22

Make sure to save the date for Santa's Grand Arrival Celebration. It's Saturday, November 22, from 10:30 AM - 1 PM.

This is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. Bring your family and friends for a day filled with free, fun holiday activities.

Santa won't be alone. Of course, he's bringing Mrs. Claus (I've heard he's lost without her. Ha ha.) and some other friends, too. He'll be accompanied by his brass band and his friend, Grinchy.

You won't want to miss the Santa Parade, where he'll officially enter the mall and head to his holiday seat in the center of the mall.
