What was once home to Pizzeria Bianco in downtown Tucson is being transformed into a winter wonderland extravaganza.

Starting Friday, the space between Hub Restaurant & Creamery and Playground Bar & Lounge will be occupied by the pop-up shop Miracle on Congress St.

Bring your camera to snap a photo with Santa Claus, who will be visiting with boys and girls every weekend until Christmas Eve on Fridays from 4 to 8 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Miracle on Congress St., 272 E. Congress, will also host free arts and crafts activities, story time hours, holiday movies, and special gift-drive events with its charity sponsors, which include the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, Casa de los Niños, Higher Ground Resource Center and the Children’s Museum Tucson.

A free craft class for kids is scheduled for Dec. 3, 10 and 17 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.
