Holiday Tree Lighting with Santa at The Shoppes
Join The Shoppes for their annual holiday tree lighting. Stop by to put a letter in Santa’s mailbox, enjoy live DJ entertainment and dance number by All Star Dance Academy, ride Rudolph on the carousel and more holiday fun including holiday shopping.
Santa arrives on a Wading River Fire Department Fire Truck at 6pm to light the tree. Bring a new unwrapped toy to support Toys for Tots and the US Marines and a non perishable food item for local families in need. Don't forget to bring your camera to take free photo with Santa. Admission is free. *Santa Mailbox will be out after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 28. Mail your letters by 5pm on December 21 to receive a return letter back from Santa!
Download your pre-designed Santa letter here or use your own - don't forget to include your address to receive a letter in return.
