Water-Skiing Santa to Make First-Ever Appearance at Old Town Alexandria Waterfront

Water-Skiing Santa will make his first-ever appearance in Old Town Alexandria this year.

Now in its 29th year, this favorite DC-area Christmas Eve event comes to Alexandria on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 24, at 1 p.m., with a pre-show starting at 12:45 p.m. Santa promises to be there no matter what the weather, come “rain, snow or shine.”

For the best view, come to Alexandria’s Potomac River waterfront between King Street and Oronoco Street, which includes Founders Park and the Alexandria City Marina.

The show will include Water-Skiing Santa and his wakeboarding reindeer, plus flying elves, the Grinch and his friends, Frosty the Snowman, and Jack Frost.

And this year’s the show promises to feature a new, never-seen-before act in the Washington, DC area, so stay tuned.

Santa, Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, and all of Santa’s Special Helpers will be available after the show for meeting, greeting and photos.
