RALEIGH
WRAL wants those venturing downtown for the Raleigh Christmas parade on Nov. 17 to stick around after it ends and enjoy a little winter magic.
The Capitol Broadcasting Company-owned station announced on Sunday that it will hold a free WRAL Winter Wonderland at the entrance of Saint Mary’s School. It will start as soon the parade ends, which could be as early as 11 or 11:30 a.m. for those at the beginning of the route, and will go until 1:30 p.m.
The Winter Wonderland will have fake snow, sledding, photos with Santa, an inflatable obstacle course and bounce house, holiday music courtesy of Mix 101.5 and food trucks (Chick-N-Que, Stuft and Not Just Icing).
Matt Iseman, host of NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” show will be there with giveaways and signing autographs. WRAL news and weather personalities will also be present.
Plus, the first 250 people will get a commemorative WRAL Winter Wonderland holiday ornament.
All of this takes place near the intersection of Hillsborough Street and Saint Mary’s Street.
Come join in on the fun!
