Santa Claus on a Fire Truck

December 7, 2024 · December 8, 2024

Multiple, Coral Gables, FL 33134

Don’t miss the most popular man of the season! Santa Claus and his helpers will ride on a fire truck through the streets of Coral Gables on Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, before heading back to the North Pole!

This year marks the fourteenth annual holiday tradition of Santa visiting Coral Gables residents to pass out candy canes to children. Coral Gables firefighters will transport Santa and special guests on three separate routes around the city where he will pass by as many homes as possible.

 

Routes 

Santa will not be able to safely make his way down every street. To make sure that as many boys and girls can safely catch Santa going near your home, Santa will be coming down major thoroughfares in your neighborhood. Listen carefully for the holiday sound of the fire truck. Please remember Santa has many streets to cover and all the time are estimated.

And for the first time residents can view when Santa is in their neighborhood and traveling on a nearby street (based on the residents’ current location).
