Santa Claus will make his annual arrival for the holiday season Friday night in downtown Lawrence.

Santa’s sleigh is cleared for landing at 6 p.m. atop the roof of Weaver’s department store, 901 Mass.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical crews will be on the scene to rescue the jolly old elf from the rooftop, bringing him down on a ladder truck.

Then St. Nick will be available to hear the holiday wishes from the children on hand.

In case you can’t make it to Ninth and Massachusetts streets to see the annual holiday spectacle, 6News will have live coverage of Santa’s arrival on Sunflower Broadband Channel 6.
