It's never a dull moment in Downtown Fayetteville, from amazing shops, delicious food and a calendar full of events, it's no wonder Santa doesn't want to leave! This year when Santa Claus came to Downtown Fayetteville for the Christmas parade, he loved it so much, he decided to stay! All of the shopping, dining, and cafes were too much for him to leave. The beautiful Christmas décor lining the streets was enough for him to feel like he was home, and with so many things to do, he hasn't had a dull moment. Santa likes to travel in style (which is obvious considering his main form of transportation is a sled pulled by fl ying reindeer). He's spent many days picking up new threads from numerous menswear shops downtown, so he can hit the streets looking like a million bucks. And since he's the ultimate gift-giver, he's had no trouble fi nding the perfect gifts for Mrs. Claus, the elves and everyone on his list. He even picked up gift cards for those hard-to-shop-for elves at many of the wonderful downtown restaurants. Fifty-degree days are rare for Mr. Claus in the North Pole, and he's taking full advantage of our warm, sunny southern weather! He loves the patio seating many of the downtown restaurants offer (with heat lamps for those who prefer to stay warm). He's treated himself to all the unique cuisines our restaurants offer, satisfying any craving he may have. We all know Santa has a sweet tooth, so he's spent hours devouring the many delicious desserts that all of the wonderful downtown restaurants offer. The man eats more than cookies, devouring cupcakes, cheesecakes, candy, cake pops and chocolate-covered fruit. It's safe to say he's in Heaven! lovely downtown FAYETTEVILLE EVENTS get in touch...
