Santa’s Riverboat Arrival

The Pacific Empire Chorus will share holiday songs and musical glee with families, beginning at 11:30 a.m. on November 29, as children eagerly await Santa and Mrs. Claus’ arrival. In addition, Budderball the Clown will entertain children with face painting.

After greeting the children and distributing candy canes, the merry couple will settle into their parlor outside Taps on the River in River Plaza for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. The event concludes at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday, November 29, is also Shop Small Saturday. The Petaluma Downtown Association (PDA) and Petaluma Visitors Program will be handing out 100 Small Business tote bags filled with goodies and offers from local retailers. Many Petaluma merchants will have special deals and activities in honor of American Express’ support-local initiative.
