Even a global pandemic can’t stop Santa Claus from visiting one of his favorite towns in the world.
Jolly Old Saint Nick will make his grand debut at the Watkinsville Christmas Parade Sunday, Dec. 5 at 4:30 p.m. and stick around for the annual Tree Lighting at 6 p.m.
“Ho, ho, ho, ho. Every single child in Oconee County is on my nice list this year,” he said in an exclusive interview with Oconee the Magazine. “I can’t wait to see all those smiling faces, and for those wearing face masks, the twinkle in their eyes.”
OCAF will hold its Holiday Market Dec. 3-5. The Artist Shoppe inside the OCAF Members Gallery will run Dec. 3-22.
