Name: Santa Claus. Age: Old. Dislikes: Polar Bears and Jack Frost. Likes: Long walks on icebergs, sugar cookies and rappelling down the side of buildings! Come see the Jolly Old Elf himself rappel from the 525 Vine building onto the rooftop of Macy’s Fountain Place as part of Macy’s Downtown Dazzle, a 20-minute presentation, which concludes with a holiday spectacular firework show. The Dazzle also features strolling holiday characters and live holiday music performed by local choirs on Fountain Square. After the last firework explodes, head inside Macy’s to warm up with hot cocoa, enjoy story time with Mrs. Claus-(who doesn’t know that the Mister has taken out a personal ad, so shhh!)-and a Horton Hears a Who parade. Shows begin at 6 p.m. Saturday Dec. 6, 13 and 20. Free, courtesy of Macy’s! Get details here.
