Santa is flying into Springfield on Saturday for a special breakfast for all good little boys and girls.
The jolly ol’ elf said he is looking forward to a hearty meal as part of the MassMutual Center’s annual Breakfast with Santa, set for 9-11 a.m. Get in line at the buffet before Santa does to grab up some hearty fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, assorted pastries and healthy fruit.
“This is a great family event and an opportunity to take a free picture with Santa and receive a free craft kit to take home and make something special,” said Sean Dolan, general manager, MassMutual Center.
He said staff is “incredibly excited” once again about this year’s Breakfast with Santa.
“They will be volunteering in many ways on Saturday to make this a fun experience for all attending from the children to adults,” Dolan said.
“The event started in part because we host the Festival of Trees for the Boys and Girls Club of Springfield. We support the community and want to give them a great experience while they are here. Also, the breakfast further allows us to send those attending afterwards to the festival and perhaps win themselves a decorated tree for the holidays,” he added.
Attendance at the breakfast includes free admission to the Springfield Boys & Girls Club 23rd annual Festival of Trees at MassMutual Center, featuring over 130 unique and beautiful trees donated by local businesses, organizations, families and individuals.
Tickets to share a breakfast with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas are $12 for children ages 1-12 and $20 for adults ages 13 and older. They are available on the MassMutual center’s website.
All proceeds from Breakfast with Santa will benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Springfield.
The civic center’s parking garage is currently under construction, however, free parking is available at the MGM Springfield casino garage.
