Offering exciting experiences and classic holiday joy, the Town of Oakland is thrilled to announce “Santa’s Lane” is returning bigger and jollier than ever with more sparkling lights and new activities including an alpine slide, snow flurries, food trucks, music and more!
Presented by Duke Energy and Paradise Landscaping and Irrigation, “Santa’s Lane” will be held on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Oakland Town Center, located at 230 N.
