Afternoon with Santa
Afternoon with Santa is an annual community celebration hosted by the Young Alumnae Board designed to bring families together for the holiday season. The primary purpose of this gathering is to provide an accessible and festive environment where attendees can celebrate the traditions of the year in a shared space. Guests are invited to participate in a variety of seasonal activities throughout the day. The highlight of the event is the opportunity for professional photos with Santa Claus, allowing families to capture lasting memories. Additional holiday experiences will be available to ensure there is plenty of engagement for all attendees. This event is specifically tailored for families looking for an enjoyable and structured afternoon of holiday fun. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and intentionally community focused. We encourage all interested participants to mark their calendars and join us for this special seasonal tradition. Please prepare your family for an afternoon of celebration and ensure you arrive early to make the most of the festivities. We look forward to welcoming you to this year's event for an experience you will certainly enjoy.
