The Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia (BHMVA) is kicking off the upcoming holiday season with its annual Soul Santa Christmas Experience and Open House. A beloved Richmond tradition for over 30 years, attendees will be able to celebrate the season while getting the opportunity to give back to local causes and purchase holiday merchandise. Families and community members are invited to visit the museum for this year’s free event which will feature Christmas stories from guest presenters, holiday craft making, and Christmas carols. Soul Santa will make a special appearance, giving children who are pre-registered the opportunity to meet him, snap a festive picture, and share in the holiday magic!
