Out and About in Winston-Salem: Winston Salem with Twin City Santa

On Friday, December 7th, the 16th-annual Twin City “Santa’s Miracle on Fifth Street” event was held in downtown Winston-Salem at the Millennium Center. Twin City Santa is a charitable organization, volunteer- based, that collects toys and raises money for children during the holiday season.

Over 1500 guests attended the event, which means there were essentially over 1500 toys collected, as guests are asked to bring an unwrapped toy. This is a wonderful way to kick off the season and get into the spirit of giving.

The music was provided by “Lucky Pocket” and DJ Hek Yeh; food served by more than 15 local restaurants.

All toys collected from the event were donated to the Salvation Army of Greater Winston-Salem to support their holiday assistance programs.

Twin City would like to give a big thank-you to their many volunteers and sponsors that helped make the evening possible and such a memorable success.
