Santa's Arrival

Up on the mall-top reindeer call, out jumps good ol' Santa Claus! Pensacola-area families are invited to celebrate the joy of the holiday season and welcome jolly ol' Saint Nick and his elves to Cordova Mall when he arrives on Friday, November 4! The festivities begin at 6 p.m. with live music from Ferry Pass Middle School Band outside the World Market entrance. Inside the mall, attendees will enjoy a live DJ, face painting and holiday characters in Center Court. Additionally, brother sister duo Daniel and CoCo Green will perform live in the Food Court. At 7 p.m., herald the holiday season with Santa's arrival parade! Santa will make his way to the World Market entrance and travel around the mall, ending at Center Court. He will arrive in style courtesy of The Cordova Fire Department, Pensacola Police, Hill-Kelly Dodge and the Ferry Pass Middle School Marching Band. After meeting everyone on the nice list, Santa will take his place in the Center Court Winter Wonderland, where he will pose for photos and listen to holiday wishes through Christmas Eve. After the parade, enjoy a special showing of the classic animated movie, ''Santa Claus is Coming to Town'' in the World Market area. Some seating will be provided, but lawn chairs are encouraged.
