SUMMARY:A Cascade Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Redding’s 21st Annual “A Cascade Christmas” show and experience this year’s installment of the beloved local holiday tradition. \nWith Christmas only 48 hours away\, the last-minute frenzy is in full peak. To mark the close of a successful season\, Santa and Mrs. Claus host their traditional holiday gala\, a final moment of calm before the global deluge of giving. Following the festivities\, Santa retreats to his barn to apply the final\, critical adjustments to his sleigh. An unexpected prank by three elves results in a serious blow\, leaving him unconscious. When he awakens\, he finds himself in an unfamiliar place and with a strange sense of déjà vu. Stranded in this new world\, Santa must navigate new landscapes and personalities while his mind teeters on the precipice of remembrance. Will the true spirit of Christmas — and his identity — return before time runs out? \nGet your tickets at our Event Website link today!
