HENDERSONVILLE, NC – Main Street will light up the night with holiday cheer and the arrival of Santa Claus on Friday, November 29 for the annual Tree Lighting at the Historic Courthouse Plaza. And how will Santa arrive? He will be coming straight from the North Pole in his sleigh. Follow the spotlight and watch the night sky to see if you can spot him coming.
