Santa’s taking a break from his North Pole duties for a night out in Decatur! Join the Terrific Thursday holiday fun and search for him as he pops into local shops to spread cheer and pick out presents.

From toys and handcrafted goods to cozy reads and winter wear, Santa knows he’ll find the perfect gifts for everyone on his list, and you will too! Shop merry and late at local stores, snagging snacks and sales. Snap a selfie with Santa if you spot him! (Tag @visitdecaturga!)
