Santa, Mrs. Claus, and his merry crew will once again visit the D.C. region via historic Alexandria. There is also a rumor the Grinch will try and steal the show at 12:45 PM before the show starts!

Santa and his pals begin at BARCA Pier at 1 p.m. and ski north to Founders Park before circling back south and finishing at Ford’s Landing.
