Here's a look at what's going on in Sioux Falls this week:
- See Santa. It's truly impossible to collect all of the places Santa will be – the man, famously, gets around. But you can catch him at the zoo, the Western Mall, Kidtopia, Mary's Mountain Cookies, the Old Courthouse Museum, Winsupply, and First Bank and Trust this week. The Harrisburg Community Library is also hosting a "Sensory Santa" which caters to families with children who would benefit from a calmer, more relaxed meeting with Santa on Saturday.
- See (musical) Santa. The Good Night Theatre Collective is putting on a performance of "Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Musical Radio Play" at the Washington Pavilion Dec. 14 through Dec. 16. Find your tickets here.
- Shop local vendors. Songbird Kombucha is hosting a local vendor pop-up in their 26th and Minnesota shop from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Find goodies from makers selling everything from peanut butter to dried flower ornaments to, of course, kombucha. Details here.
- Celebrate Chanukah. The Chabad Jewish Center of South Dakota is hosting a Menorah lighting and Gelt Drop starting at 3:30 p.m. Sunday near the children's play area at the Empire Mall. Details here.
- Pair cupcakes with beer. Oh My Cupcakes! is teaming up with Severance Brewing for a beer and cupcake pairing event on Tuesday evening at the brewery. Try four different beers and four different cupcakes. Preorder your flight here.
- See some ballet. Local ballerinas will perform The Nutcracker starting at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Orpheum Theater. Details here.
