Santa Claus is coming to town and we know kids are ready to visit with the Jolly Old soul. Most already know Santa can be found at Perkins Rowe, Mall of Louisiana, Bass Pro Shops Santa’s Wonderland, and Cabelas, but Black Santa is always a bit harder to find. We’re fortunate to have a wonderfully diverse selection of Santas in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas, but it can still be a challenge to know exactly where to find a consistent Black Santa experience. So we’ve rounded up the places you can visit this holiday season!
