Photographs With Santa Coming This Holiday Season To Dulles Town Center
Starting Friday, Nov. 12, Santa Claus will be at Dulles Town Center, where he will visit daily with children and pose for photographs.
STERLING, VA — Santa Claus will be arriving at Dulles Town Center on Friday, Nov. 12 and staying through Christmas Eve, giving children lots of time to share their holiday wish lists and get a photo taken with him.
Santa will be sitting on a velvet throne in the Center Court of Dulles Town Center’s lower level. A special mailbox will be set up nearby where children can write and send personal letters to Santa. The setting also will include holiday photo backdrops for families to take their own photos.
“Children looking forward to all the wonder of the holidays will enjoy a personal visit with Santa,” Bryan Touchstone, senior general manager of the shopping center, said in a statement.

To reduce overall wait times and promote social distancing and contactless payment for Santa photos, families are encouraged to make a reservation in advance of their visits.
In addition to the paid professional photos, the new photographic backdrops will provide a number of no-cost selfie and family photo opportunities.
