Solano County is a great place to raise a family!
With the Holidays coming up one of my family's favorite traditions is to meet Santa Claus.
That is my son in the photo above with a keepsake photo from a local photographer who does amazing work.
Here’s a list of the top 5 places to visit with Santa (and snag a keepsake photo for your family!)
Believe With Santa, Vacaville
About: “Believe with Santa” is celebrating our sixth annual show! Families will experience a show filled with music, stories, a bit of Christmas magic and visit with Santa on stage!
See Santa’s mailbox, sleigh and more! Unlike anything found locally, the show will combine a full performance and the classic Santa Claus visit into one memorable experience.
Families are welcome to photograph the “Santa Claus visit” portion of the show. This show is also an official “Vacaville Firefighter’s Toy Drop” charity event. We are inviting all guests to bring a new, unwrapped toy for a local child in need.
Local representatives will be on hand to accept toys and monetary gifts. For less than the price of ONE Santa photo in the mall, guests are enjoying a full experience with Santa at the “Believe with Santa” show.
This is especially nice for timid children as the show gives the child time to see Santa at distance and feel more reassured before the actual “visit”. How does my purchase make an impact? Every ticket purchased makes a difference.
By purchasing a single ticket, you help sponsor local child in need to attend the show. “Believe with Santa” has been partnering with local child advocacy groups and charities to bring a much need touch of Christmas magic to those that need it most.
