Surfin' Santa Arrival

November 26, 2011

Santa’s trading in the red suit for board shorts and sailing into Seaport Village on November 26 for his highly anticipated return to San Diego. Santa will arrive via pirate ship courtesy of Pirate Ship Adventures, after which he’ll head to shore for a variety of holiday festivities throughout the afternoon. Complete with rockin’ holiday music and live entertainment, visitors can kick off the holiday season by perusing unique gift shops and taking in the best that the Big Bay has to offer.

“We’re expanding our San Diego holiday tradition by adding a free LED holiday light exchange,” said Seaport Village General Manager Terry Hall. “Santa will still celebrate in true San Diego style, while also demonstrating environmentally friendly options available for festive activities and encouraging us to think green for the winter season.”

Seaport Village’s holiday event on November 26 includes:
