Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!

We all love to run out to the streets and see Santa cruising along our block in his sleigh throwing candy canes and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. It's also a great time to mix with neighbors and say hi to some that you never see. Below are the South Bay cities that Santa will be visiting and the time he'll be sleding down your street! Merry Christmas from our family here at South Bay Marketplace to yours!
