~ Mesa, AZ- Merry Main Street is bringing a new holiday tradition to the city this year with the introduction of Santa Paws. This festive event will take place every Sunday until December 21st from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., giving families the opportunity to have their four-legged companions meet Santa Claus himself. Visitors are encouraged to bring their phones or cameras to capture this "paw-sitively" priceless moment.

Santa Paws can be found west of the Winter Wonderland Ice Rink, next to the beloved characters Bumble and Hermey from the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer television special. In addition, Mesa Animal Control will be present at the event, providing helpful tips and resources for pet owners.

But that's not all- Santa will also be making appearances at The Post, a community and event space owned by the city, every Friday and Saturday. His exact hours can be found online. And for those last-minute wish lists, Santa will be available on Christmas Eve from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., before he heads back to the North Pole.
