It was Santa’s birthday party at Bridgewater Commons, and the big holiday tradition kicked off another jammed-packed holiday season at Bridgewater Commons.

Five weeks of celebration

The big party was the start of five weeks filled with music, dancing, live performances, pet-friendly events, meet and greet with fairytale characters, and of course, photos and visits with the Jolly Ole Elf himself, Santa Claus.

Bridgewater Commons partners with The Salvation Army

I was happy to hear that Bridgewater Commons has partnered with The Salvation Army for two incredibly special charitable gestures. The Salvation Army Angel Tree will help provide Christmas gifts for children and seniors in need. The Angel Tree Program provides clothing and toys to over one million children each year. This is a wonderful holiday gift that will not go unnoticed.
