Santa and Grinch Return to Victoria this Saturday

Victoria will be hosting their Eighth Annual Small Town Christmas celebration this year on Saturday December 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Organizers, including Santa, started this tradition as a way to bring the small town joy of Christmas to the community and for visitors to come enjoy. Town officials use the idea that, “The magic of Christmas never ends and the greatest gifts are family and friends.”

The day features many different activities and even characters around town. Through the years along with Santa, other well known Christmas and holiday characters such as the Grinch, Comet and Frosty, have been seen around the town.

This year Santa will be setting up shop in the old NAPA building location on Main Street in Victoria for pictures from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Grinch will also be in his traditional location at Marino’s where kids can enjoy lunch and photos with the well known character.
