The Poughkeepsie Galleria is set to celebrate the holiday season with a series of festive events. Santa Claus has already arrived at his temporary home in Center Court, where he will be available for visits until Christmas Eve (December 24). Visitors can reserve spots online to avoid waiting in line, ensuring a smooth experience.
Special events include Pet Photo Nights on December 1 and December 9 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., where well-behaved pets can join their owners for a memorable photo with Santa. Additionally, the mall will host a sensory-friendly Santa event on December 7 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., designed to provide a calm environment for children with sensory sensitivities.
Reservations are encouraged to ensure everyone has a chance to participate in these holiday activities. The Poughkeepsie Galleria is located at 2001 South Road, Poughkeepsie, New York.
