Santa is coming to town and bringing his reindeer for their annual holiday visit to Gresham Station Shopping Center! We’ll be hosting complimentary photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus on December 5, 12, 17, and 18 by reservation only. The free Reindeer Meet & Greet event will be on December 17 and 18 from 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm in the fenced area at 1064 Norman Ave., giving you an opportunity to take photos, ask questions, and have some fun! No registration is necessary to see the reindeer. Visitors are welcome to complimentary hot cider or hot cocoa, selfie stations, crafts, letters to Santa, and so much more!
We ask that you bring a canned food item to donate to SnowCap Community Charities’ “Fill A Bag” campaign. Fill-A-Bag is the largest annual food drive to benefit SnowCap Community Charities. Kicking off on in early November and spearheaded by Riverview Community Bank and Gresham Ford, individuals and local businesses in our community join forces to undertake this outstanding effort for the needy in East Multnomah County.

For the safety of our community and staff, we will continue to practice social distancing at this year’s event. Santa is committed to spreading cheer, not germs, so the beloved tradition of sitting on Santa’s knee will be put on hold this year. With a few photography tricks and creative alternatives, our professional photographer can still capture special memories chatting with Santa. Masks are not required this year, but are recommended. Please arrive at the event space 5 minutes before your appointment start time.
Your family photo will be available to download on the Gresham Station Facebook page a few days after your visit.
