Colony Square Mall will host 14th annual Santa parade Saturday

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- Santa Clause is coming town. Santa will be making his way to Zanesville, Saturday to be exact.

The Colony Square Mall will host the 14th Annual Christmas Parade featuring Kris Kringle himself.

“The best viewing site will be on the sidewalk along the front side of the mall,” Business and Marketing Director, Kevin Pinson said. “We’ve got about 25 units in the parade.”

The parade will begin at 10 a.m. The parade will feature area marching bands, youth and veteran groups.

“Once I get everyone organized on the back side of the mall, I run around to the front. Just to watch the kid’s reaction when Santa comes around the corner. That is the absolute best. That makes every minute that I spend on that parade worth it right there,” Kevin Pinson said.

Before the parade you can grab a bite to with father Christmas, Rudolf, Frosty the Snowman, and the mall mascot Cosmo the bull dog from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at Garfield’s restaurant.
