The Madison Square Garden Company kicks off the holiday season with Christmas in August, celebrating the 2016 edition of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, August 23 at 11 AM.

According to MSG, “Join Santa Claus and the Radio City Rockettes as they stop traffic on Sixth Avenue in front of Radio City Music Hall and the iconic dancers spread joy when they bring to life Santa’s enchanted reindeer, straight from the North Pole.”

The Radio City Rockettes will perform “Sleigh Ride” on Sixth Avenue followed by a presentation of the iconic number “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” which will be accompanied by the reveal of a special banner atop the Radio City Music Hall marquee. Santa will be joined by 95.5 PLJ on-air host John Foxx to kick off the festivities.
