The Holiday Season will begin in Salina next weekend.

Children will have a chance to begin the day eating breakfast with Santa, and end it with the Holiday Parade of Lights in Downtown Salina.

The Salina Child Care Association will host Breakfast With Santa next weekend, on Saturday, November 19th. Breakfast With Santa is for children and their families. It provides a filling breakfast, goody bags while they last, door prizes, and the first opportunity to see Santa this holiday season at the Central Mall Food Court. Breakfast will be served 8:00 am to 10:00 am. Tickets are $4 for children, $6 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the Food Court the morning of the event. Guests may choose the hot breakfast or continental breakfast. All proceeds from Breakfast with Santa benefit low income families in the form of child care scholarships, supplies and equipment for the Salina Child Care Association.

The 25th Annual Christmas Festival and Parade of Lights is next Saturday in Downtown Salina as well. The downtown day features  cookies with Mrs. Claus at the Flower Nook, pictures with Santa at the Art Center, antique fire truck rides, and horse drawn carriage rides. It concludes with the the biggest, and brightest parade of the year at 6:00.
