“Christmas in Seaside Heights” will run through Sunday and will be held at the new Carousel Pavilion along the northern portion of the boardwalk. Santa will visit from the North Pole and be available for photos for $10. Visitors will be able to see the toy train display and the 14-ft Christmas tree. There will be music, entertainment, magicians, and a Seaside Heights sand sculpture by International award winning Sand Artists John Gowdy & Co.
The event will also feature vendors selling gifts for the holidays, including sweet treats, jewelry, crafts and more.
All proceeds will benefit the Seaside Heights Historical Society, which was formed over the past year as part of the effort to preserve the borough’s historic carousel.
