Santa Claus is coming to town, and he’ll be arriving at Queens’ MarketPlace a little early this holiday season.
Free photo opportunities with Santa begin on Friday, Dec. 6 and extend to various dates through Saturday, Dec. 21 as jolly old Saint Nick works around a busy schedule of making his list and checking it twice.
Families are invited to bring their keiki and their cameras to meet Mr. Claus by the Clock Tower, located between Island Gourmet Markets and Romano’s Macaroni Grill, where Santa’s helpers will assist with photos in a festive setting.
