Last week we launched 3 holiday initiatives: Santa Claus is Coming to Rich City!, Virtual Downtown Holiday Festival, and our Giving Tuesday Campaign.
December arrives tomorrow (how did that happen?) and we are getting ready for Downtown Holiday Festival activities unlike you’re ever seen!
Main Street Presents
COVID-Safe Downtown Holiday Festival Activities
Since it’s not safe to gather and have folks come to Santa, we are bringing Santa and the Downtown Holiday Festival experience to you!
Saturday, December 12, 2pm-4pm
Santa’s helpers are making special deliveries to Richmond households. Register to receive goodie bags, books, family resources, and more.
Wednesday, December 16, 6pm-7:30pm
Grab some hot cocoa and tune in for an evening of yuletide cheer featuring Storytime with Santa and A Richmond Nutcracker.
Calling All Santa Helpers! We are looking for 15 volunteers to make the special deliveries. Each volunteer will pick-up a delivery kit on December 11 and make deliveries to about 10 households on December 12.
Will you help us make the holidays bright for 300 Richmond kids?
