25th annual Waterskiing Santa at Nat'l Harbor

WASHINGTON -- Before Santa loads his sleigh Christmas Eve, he'll be putting on a free show at National Harbor.

Make that, "on" National Harbor.

Claus is hosting the 25th annual Waterskiing Santa tradition, and tells WTOP you can expect to see Mrs. Claus, the jet-skiing Grinch, flipping wake-boarding elves, Frosty the Snowman in a dinghy and hydrofoil sky-skis that can do inverted flips.

The best viewing for the show is from one of the two docks flanking the show at National Harbor, Claus says. The performers are nationally-ranked water skiers and wake boarders who participate -- and prefer to stay anonymous -- as a way to give back to the community.

The region is expecting cold clear weather for the performance. This will be the 25th year the free show has gone on rain, snow or shine, Claus says.

Show time is 1 p.m. Dec. 24 at National Harbor in Prince George's County, on the Maryland side of the Potomac River just south of the Interstate 95 Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
