  • On December 20th, the group will make their way through neighborhoods south of Crawford Street and east of Colville Road. 
  • On December 21st, they will wrap up their tour in neighborhoods south of Crawford Street and west of Colville Road.


December 22nd will serve as a makeup day if, for some reason, a day or location was not reached, ensuring every child has a chance to see Santa.
