Prudential Center has announced its line-up of this year's holiday events! From Santa taking his annual residence at the PRU (starting this Saturday), Pet Photos with Santa, 31 Nights of Light where Prudential Center lights up the tower a different color each night to support local charities, and an exclusive shopping event with great deals...there's a lot happening for the holidays!
Pet Photos with Santa
In partnership with the MSPCA, Prudential Center will be hosting two Pet Photo Nights on Nov 27 and Dec 11 from 5-7 pm. Animals must be kept in crates or on leashes for the duration of the event and the MSPCA will be present to educate attendees about their mission. A portion of the proceeds from the photos will benefit their organization.
