Share in the spirit of the holidays during Uptown’s Broadway Holiday
Santa Claus is coming to Uptown! Uptown Columbus, Inc., Business Improvement District and Uptown Merchants host the 7th Annual Broadway Holiday Festival on Friday, December 6, 2013 from 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM on the 1100 block of Broadway in Uptown Columbus.
Christmas lovers rejoice as Santa is escorted in by his entourage, including a special guest appearance from the Coca-Cola Polar bear. Sing along to traditional Christmas carols at the lighting of the City of Columbus giant Christmas tree, shop with holiday vendors and play in the SNOW! There will be hot chocolate, candy canes and lots of fun for the entire family. Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite holiday attire, and to bring their camera to partake in the many photo opportunities.
To share in the spirit of giving, Uptown Columbus, Inc. and the Business Improvement District will be kicking off their annual holiday food drive. Come share the holiday spirit by leaving a food donation under the tree. Donations go to local shelters and families in need. Otherwise, please drop off you donation at one of participating businesses in the Uptown area by December 9, 2012.
Bring a toy or $2 donation and slide on the Santa’s Castle of Fort Benning giant slide. A non-profit organization run solely by volunteers, the Santa’s Castle organization provides toys for children of Fort Benning Soldiers, who because of financial difficulties would otherwise not have toys during the holidays. Santa’s Castle has been serving the Fort Benning and Columbus area since 1986.
Please join us as we come together this holiday season by giving to those less fortunate.
