Santa on the Chimney at Chimney Rock State Park

Before traveling the world to climb down chimneys to deliver presents on Christmas, Santa practices in the Asheville area on one of the biggest chimneys of all! Join at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., as Old St. Nick practices for his Christmas Eve deliveries by rappelling down the park’s 315-foot Chimney.

Since climbing down the Chimney is no easy feat, Santa will take breaks at the top of every hour starting at 11 a.m. so that he and Mrs. Claus can visit with children in front of Cliff Dwellers Gifts. Children can get their photo taken with Santa during his break and free digital copies will be available for download after the event on the park’s Facebook page.
