Santa Claus Arrives In Marlborough On Friday

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Santa Claus is coming to town, whether you're ready for the Christmas season or not.

The Santa Claus display at the Solomon Pond Mall will open on Nov. 8. In fact, Friday is the day Santa arrives at all Simon-owned malls in Massachusetts and New Hampshire — that includes the South Shore, Chestnut Hill, and Northshore malls.

"Visiting the Simon Santa Photo Experience at select Simon Malls is a fun way for families to create lasting memories and experience all the joy that the holiday season has to offer and Simon recognizes the importance of sharing traditions with loved ones during the holidays and wants to enable families to experience this special time with Santa that they have come to cherish each year," the company said of its Santa display in a press release.

This year's Santa display will be enhanced with technology. Parents can use the Santa FastPass service to reserve a time for a photo with Santa. The service is available at most local malls, including in Natick and Auburn.

You have plenty of time to make your Christmas wishes. Santa will be at the Solomon Pond Mall until Christmas Eve.
