This tradition is so popular that it sells out every year, and there are only a few tables left for the 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM seatings!

It’s a simple, joyful event where families can relax, eat, and enjoy some holiday cheer together.

Plus, Pizza with Santa is just one of many holiday activities in Bangor. The city is full of other festive events, markets, and shows like Cinderella, Another Kick in Your Dickens, and more. There are parades, light displays, craft fairs, and concerts, giving families plenty of ways to enjoy the season.
