New Rochelle, NY—(December 3, 2010) – New Roc City, the 1.2M square-foot entertainment and retail destination in downtown New Rochelle, recently kicked-off the 2010 holiday season at the 47th Annual Valenti New Rochelle Thanksgiving Day Parade. New Roc City’s line-up of fun-filled December family events were prominently displayed on its festive Thanksgiving Day holiday float.
Anticipating a busy holiday season, Santa Claus visits New Roc City on weekends in December for photographs with children who look forward to sharing their wish lists with Santa every year. Santa will visit New Roc City for the first three weekends of December on Saturdays from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Sundays 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Photographs with Santa make beautiful holiday keepsakes to share with family and friends.
New Roc City will be ringing in the New Year at noon on Friday, December 31 with renowned radio personality Jimmy Fink of 107.1 The Peak, who will serve as the event’s emcee. “Ring in the New Year at Noon” is geared toward children ages 2–10 and will be held from 10:30 a.m. from noon. Kids will experience an exciting Times Square simulated atmosphere with the New York City skyline as a backdrop. Complete with a countdown with Jimmy Fink and a balloon release, New Roc City will be the destination for young families to celebrate the entrance into 2011. In addition to traditional New Years activities, kids will enjoy face painting, arts and crafts, snacks, games and more. The event is being held in association with the New Rochelle Business Improvement District and their BID Family Day event series.
