Santa Claus will pay a special visit to this year's Festival of Trees on December 1st.

Organizers of the annual Christmas celebration have announced that longtime sponsor Kopar Administration will present the festival's first Santa Claus parade.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Kopar administration for their generous support,” said CEO Aimee Cassie of the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, the festival's host. “Their commitment to our community is truly inspiring and we are excited to bring the joy of the Santa Claus Parade to life with their help.”
