Southland Mall presents its second annual “Black Friday Balloon Drop” on Friday, Nov. 26, at 8 a.m. The day after Thanksgiving is traditionally known as “Black Friday.” On that day, hundreds of balloons filled with store coupon offers, movie passes and mall gift cards will descend from the rafters in three separate locations inside the mall: the Sears Wing, Center Court, and Macy’s Wing. Gnarly Charlie from The Coast 97.3 FM will be onsite supporting the event with music, games, prizes, and much more from 8-8:30 a.m., followed by Sylvana Tróccoli, radio personality from Univision Radio’s AMOR 107.5 FM from 10 a.m. to noon. “Southland is excited to present its second annual Black Friday Balloon Drop,” said Maggie Anzardo, marketing director at Southland Mall. “The Balloon Drop has
become one of our signature events at the center and is held yearly on Black Friday, as a way of rewarding our shoppers during the holidays.” And don’t forget to visit Santa. Families are invited to bring their children to take photos with Santa through Dec. 24 in the Sears Wing at Southland Mall.
