Start Holiday Fun at Towne Center on December 3

Let holiday magic begin on the streetscape of Anderson Towne Center on Saturday, Dec. 3. That’s when the Anderson Holiday Festival returns to the center, along with Santa, entertainment and seasonal festivities. 

The family-friendly event kicks off at 4 p.m. and Santa arrives at 4:15 p.m. on a township fire engine. He is then scheduled for personal “consultation” during the evening. Children’s activities line the walkway including crafts, games and a holiday passport. Ring in the season with outdoor entertainment from local organizations on multiple stages. Finally, gather around the tree at 6 p.m. for the annual lighting ceremony.

Anderson Towne Center businesses provide refreshments during the evening or participants can patronize one of several restaurants in the area. Anderson Towne Center is at 7500 Beechmont Ave.
