The annual celebration is hosted by the Southington Parks and Recreation Department.
SOUTHINGTON, CT — An old tradition in town is taking on a new twist ... and a new name, though the Christmas cheer will remain the same on Sunday.
The Southington Recreation Department is hosting its annual "Santa's Jolly Holiday" celebration at the Calendar House Senior Center, 388 Pleasant St., from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27.
Formerly known as "Santa in the Park," this holiday celebration is for Southington families only and the event will take place indoors.
