Santa Claus will be available to meet with local kids and take pictures. Photos with Santa range in price from $8 to $19.
On Friday, Nov. 25, Santa arrived to a large crowd while the SLO County Band played classic Christmas tunes.
“I’m so humbled to be here, and every one of you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!” Santa exclaimed.
Kids can also drop off letters to Santa in the mailbox outside Santa's House. Make sure to include your return address for a response from the North Pole.
