Celebration Kicks Off Holidays At Cross County Shopping Center

Tree lighting set to greet Santa.

The Cross County Shopping Center kicks off the holiday season — and welcomes Santa to Westchester — with a tree lighting ceremony set for Saturday.

The free event includes a light and music show, dance performance by the Rockin' Rockettes, face painting, caricaturists, stolling entertainers and photos with Santa.

The celebration kicks off at 6 p.m. and includes the ceremonial lighting of the shopping center's 40-foot Christmas tree. The shopping center's Santa Village is located between the Gap store and Zales jewelry.
