The Sapperton Business Association, along with Wesgroup Properties, is hosting the fifth annual Santa Shops Sapperton event and fourth annual Christmas tree sale next weekend.

Things get rolling at the Brewery District Plaza in the 200-block of East Columbia Street, next to Thrifty Foods, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10.

The event promises carollers, Take Five Café hot chocolate, popcorn and the big man himself, Santa Claus, visiting local businesses to make some headway on his list. All proceeds from the Christmas tree sale go to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. The trees, five-to seven-foot grand and noble firs, are sourced from a tree farm in Langley.

The event runs until 3 p.m.
