The Village of Rochester Hills to provide complimentary Santa and Grinch Visits and more this weekend!
(Rochester Hills, MI – December 9, 2021) The Village of Rochester Hills (The Village) continues its family-friendly line-up of complimentary visits from Santa Claus and the Grinch, as well as performances from local artists.
Santa Claus continues his contact-free visits with the very good boys and girls of Metro Detroit in The Village's Gazebo, aka his "Santa Snug," located next to Bravo Restaurant at The Village. Families are welcome to make a walk-up appointment during the hours that Santa is available for visits at The Village.
Further, for this weekend only, guests may spot a certain Grinch strolling around the property for visits as well. Visits and photos are complimentary, but $5 donations are suggested with all proceeds benefiting the Spark of Love Animal Rescue Center in Trenton, MI.
"The Village is very thrilled to provide complimentary and safe Santa visits to the public once again, continuing on a tradition for many families, whether it's the eighth year or the first year," said Anjelica Dudek, Marketing Coordinator. "Whether guests are taking a break from shopping or just in the neighborhood, we invite all to enjoy this entertainment that'll sure to bring smiles to faces!"
