Ho, Ho, Ho: Santa to Arrive at Springfield Town Center
The jolly old elf will kick off the holidays at the renovated shopping center this weekend through Christmas Eve.

Santa will arrive at Springfield Town Center Friday to officially kick off the holidays, staying through Christmas Eve, Dec. 24.
Seasonal entertainment provided by Magical Solutions will precede the arrival of Santa, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday in the shopping center’s Grand Court.
Santa will arrive on stage at 6:25 p.m., via a “mail delivery.” He will magically appear from a package shipped from the North Pole, bringing snow along with him.
