Nov 24, 2009, Surfin Santa at Seaport Village Saturday, November 28th

Santa doesn't have to plow through snow in So Cal, so I guess it makes sense that he surfs into Seaport Village!

Your kids can welcome Santa at 1 pm as he arrives on a pirate ship at Seaport Village, courtesy the Maritime Museum (arriving in front of Pier Cafe). And then Santa will be available for free photos, posing on a surfboard and wave until 5 pm.

New this year, kids can make environment friendly ornaments and decorate Seaport Village's tree. Tree lighting at 5 p.m.
