SCOTTSDALE QUARTER USHERS IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON

WITH ITS ANNUAL SANTA SOCIAL ON NOVEMBER 25

A full day holiday celebration to offer free family fun and entertainment.

 

Scottsdale Quarter, the Valley’s premier open-air shopping, dining and entertainment destination, will usher in the holiday season with The Santa Social, its highly anticipated holiday kick-off event on Saturday, November 25, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. in The Quad. The popular event, now in its eleventh year, will feature festive, family-friendly activities, including photos with the jolly man in red, live entertainment, a tree lighting ceremony and a movie under the stars. 

“We’re excited to celebrate the season with The Santa Social, our annual holiday kick-off event, which has gained the reputation as the most festive holiday event in the Valley,” said Richard Hunt, general manager at Scottsdale Quarter. “The Santa Social has become a tradition for families who flock to the center to officially kick off the season of giving with a day of fun, while taking advantage of the great shopping and dining options at Scottsdale Quarter.” 

Attendees will enjoy live holiday entertainment, interactive games and activities, caricature artists, and puppy adoptions from the Arizona Animal Welfare League. Back this year is the interactive Santa experience: in addition to Santa posing for pictures in front of a classic truck, there will be holiday selfie stations and a rustic cabin. 






The celebration will culminate with the ceremonial lighting of the center’s 35 foot Christmas tree at 6 p.m. This symbolic occasion will be followed by the showing of an all-time holiday favorite, Home Alone. Families are invited to lay out blankets, grab a snack from one of Scottsdale Quarter’s delicious eateries and settle in for the movie at 6:00pm.  

Scottsdale Quarter will be open from 10am – 9pm so visitors can take advantage of great Black Friday extended weekend offers at the center’s celebrated retailers.  

The Santa Social is free and open to the public; costs apply to Santa photos. For more information, visit www.scottsdalequarter.com or call (480) 270-8123. Follow Scottsdale Quarter on Instagram and Facebook.
