The event will run from 4:30-6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Free parking will be available in the lot north of the Gateway Center.

There will be a traditional Santa Claus at the fireplace, where people can take photos. Pistol Pete and UW’s cheer squad also will be available for photos.

Several UW music ensembles will perform as well.

There also will be a holiday cookie bar, where guests can build their own cookies and enjoy them with a cup of hot chocolate from the hot chocolate bar, as well as many other holiday treats and activities such as face painting.

Throughout the event, UW’s Shetland pony mascot, Cowboy Joe, will be outside the Gateway Center to greet visitors. And hay wagon rides will be provided by Pistol and Pete, UW’s Haflinger horses, and their handlers from the College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources.

Inside and outside, the Gateway Center will be replete with holiday decorations, including the UW Christmas tree.
