29th Annual Santa on the Chimney
Santa rappels down the face of the chimney to practice for Christmas Eve, a stunt the park has been pulling off for 29 years.
Santa rappels down the 315-foot natural rock wall at Chimney Rock State Park with assistance from Fox Mountain Guides, continuing a tradition now in its 29th year. Visitors gather at the park to watch the descent as part of its holiday-season programming.
