PALM BEACH GARDENS — Santa's first stop of the season at The Gardens Mall is a Friday evening parade, not a ticketed show.
Santa's Arrival Parade is Friday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m. at The Gardens Mall, 3101 PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, according to the mall's parade page and holiday lineup. The Palm Beach Gardens High School marching band and a cast of costumed characters will walk Santa to his throne in the Grand Court to kick off the holiday season.
The parade is open to the public and does not require a ticket.
Photos with Santa begin the next day. The mall says families can take a keepsake photo with Santa in his Enchanted Garden during mall hours from Saturday, Nov. 14, through Thursday, Dec. 24, on the Lower Level of the Grand Court. Reservations are encouraged, and walk-ups are welcome. The mall does not list photo-package prices on those pages.
Regular mall hours posted with the event listings are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday; individual store and restaurant hours may vary.
