Not to be outdone by Ala Moana, Pearlridge will also be opening its doors at 6 AM the day after Thanksgiving. Friday, November 24 kicks off a series of special holiday events—including live music and merchandise giveaways—beginning with Santa’s arrival in the mall’s Downtown wing at 9 AM. In the festivity-packed weeks leading up to Christmas, the shopping center will maintain extended hours. Make sure to check out the season’s best deals at local favorites like Hawaiian Island Creations, Music Mac, and Thinker Toys. And of course, for the person on your list who seems to have it all, a Pearlridge gift certificate is the perfect present!
