We have put together a huge list of places in the Charlotte area to get free pictures with Santa!
The Coalition for Cultural Compassion believes that representation is so important and that all children should see themselves in their heroes. That is why we are thrilled to celebrate diversity and the spirit of the winter season with our annual Visit with Santa Experience featuring a Black Santa and Mrs. Claus! ALL are welcome to come enjoy hot chocolate, festive music, holiday crafts and activities, story time with Mrs. Claus, and, of course, see Santa Claus himself. Photo opportunities are available for all who would like a special memory to keep. This event is FREE and open to the community!
