About 500 people turned out for Binghamton's North Pole celebration at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Binghamton this weekend.  Arranged by Townsquare Media the DoubleTree's lower level was transformed into a holiday celebration.

Parents were able to spend time with their children throughout the evening on Friday and into Saturday morning when Santa Claus made an appearance.  Families booked rooms in the hotel and attended movie showings, face painting, got family photos in festive holiday attire and were able to sing and karaoke with their favorite songs.

There were also craft displays and gift ideas available for the adults.  Children and their parents were able to swim in the hotel pool.  Refreshments including hot chocolate and food were available to the guests.
