Norwood’s mixed-use development Factory 52 is getting in the holiday spirit with a few festive activations planned for the season.
Starting on Black Friday, Santa Claus will open his home at Factory 52 to visitors. Santa’s House will be located just outside The Gatherall food hall and feature one-of-a-kind meet-and-greets with Santa and his elves. For $25, kids get a personal, 15-minute experience with Santa and photo moments with festive holiday sets. The house will also have a retail area.
Santa’s House will be open on Nov. 29 from 4-8 p.m. After that, walkups are welcome from 4-8 p.m. on Saturdays and 1-6 p.m. on Sundays, or you can book an appointment from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. during the week. You can learn more or book an appointment here.
After meeting Santa, you can mail him your wish list. The Letters to Santa station will be located in The Gatherall, so you can grab a bite to eat and then head to the special mailbox to make sure your holiday wishes get to the North Pole in time for Christmas. The station will open on Black Friday and be available during normal food hall hours through December.
Factory 52 will also be hosting the Holiday City Flea on Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 7-8. Shop local from over 50 curated vendors and find gifts for all the special someones on your list in one place. The market will be open both days from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be located at the front of the development.
