Event Description

Join Briarwood Mall to welcome Santa. He’ll parade from the JCPenney Court (starting at 6p) across the mall to the Santa set in the Von Maur Court.

The parade includes a holiday concert and festive treats.

We attended Santa’s arrival several times when my daughter was in elementary school. It was usually a great night to visit Santa. One year, she was even the first to visit Santa.

Note: This is considerably earlier than past years when it happened closer to 6p.
