Santa Arrival and Tree Lighting at Manhattan Village Mall
Fri Nov 28, 2025
12:00pm to 6:00pm PT
Age: All ages
Price: Free
Everyone heads to the mall on Black Friday, even Santa Claus!
Manhattan Village lights up the holidays with live music, a magical snowfall, and of course, the arrival of Santa to light the 41-foot tree!
From noon until 3pm, little ones can write their special letters to Santa, create beautiful keepsake ornaments, and decorate Sprinkles cupcakes.
From 3pm to 6pm, music joins the mix, with live musical performances from Jingle 5 and The Holly Belles. Then it's time to welcome Mr. & Mrs. Claus for the main event: the spectacular lighting of the tree, followed by a magical snowfall.
