While everyone else is driving around in parking lots, crowding into stores and waiting in long lines for the “ultimate” Black Friday Sale, you can kick off the Holiday Season with Santa in Red Bank and still do some downtown holiday shopping.

On Friday, November 24th, celebrate the holiday season at the Santa Express & Santa Parade event. Santa Express departs from Little Silver Train Station at 6:44 p.m., arriving at the Red Bank Train station where he will lead the parade to Broad Street for the Tree Lighting Ceremony & Holiday Express Concert. The Kathryn Barnett Dancers and the Atlantic Watch Bagpipers will be ringing in the season at the Red Bank Train Station.

In true holiday spirit, the Holiday Express Train is free for all ages. CLICK HERE for event details and don’t forget about Small Business Saturday for your holiday shopping needs.
