Grand Tree Lighting & Santa’s Arrival

Join us in center court to welcome Santa to The Shoppes!

Nitsch Theatre Arts NFP Rising Stars will perform holiday favorites leading up to Santa’s arrival in a horse-led carriage.  Once Santa arrives he will countdown to light the grand tree for the holiday season!

After the tree is lit, we have 2 holiday stops for you to make in any order!

*Head to Central Illinois Ballet for cookies and cocoa along with a short sneak peak of their Nutcracker performance (former Victoria’s Secret).

*Santa will be in his chalet in Santa’s Village ready for the first families of the season to take photos (next to DSW, across from Marshalls/Faire Coffee).  Don’t forget to grab a free balloon from the balloon artist while you’re visiting Santa!
