Santa heading to Endicott Food Center Saturday

Endicott will welcome Santa Claus to town Saturday night with a bang. A fireworks show scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. will precede his arrival shortly after 5 p.m. He will stick around for the festivities Saturday evening.

The celebration there will include a fireworks show and the lighting of Christmas lights and Chinese lanterns.

That won't be all the fun, though.

Santa will stick around for a visit with everyone on hand. The Endicott Food Center will be the host site for Santa's visit, with cookies and hot chocolate on the menu for his visit.
