Santa's Riverboat Arrival
This event is expired.
Santa and Mrs. Claus are coming to town on November 30, the Saturday after Thanksgiving!
When Santa arrives in Petaluma, he leaves his sleigh at home. Instead, he and Mrs. Claus make a uniquely Petaluma arrival - they sail up the Petaluma River on a Lind Marine tugboat, arrive in the Turning Basin, cross the Balshaw Bridge, and stop in the River Plaza Shopping Center for pictures and activities!
Starting at 11:30 am, families will enjoy live entertainment from the Pacific Empire Chorus while waiting for Santa and Mrs. Claus to arrive! The Christmas couple will arrive around noon and will be welcomed by costumed dancers from the Petaluma School of Ballet’s “Nutcracker.” Santa and Mrs. Claus will make their way across the parking lot to their festive tent outside Taps Restaurant where they will be available for family photos. Be sure to bring your Christmas wish list!
