On Saturday, Dec. 7, the annual “Christmas in Old Town Florissant” festivities will begin at 2 p.m. in the Council Chamber at Florissant City Hall with seasonal music and other activities. Santa Claus will arrive at 2:15 p.m. to visit with children.
Other activities at city hall will include craft making, cookie decorating, and face painting with the Valley of Flowers Queen and court.
In addition, Cookie the Clown will be making balloon sculptures, and there will be Christmas stories, cookies, hot cocoa, and seasonal music.
Shops will be open along rue St. Francois to help celebrate.
