Santa on Columbia Street

A family event this Saturday on Columbia Street is sure to be less hectic and exhausting than lugging the kids to Macy’s.

At MikNic Lounge, 200 Columbia St @ Sackett, a longtime Santa will greet kids and listen to Christmas wishes. This same Santa recently visited kids of fallen Navy Seals and does charity work with veterans.

He was the official Santa at the Manhattan Mall for 18 years.

Saturday Dec. 17

1 to 4 p.m.
