Happy Holidays!
It is that time of year again when Eastern Salisbury Fire Department is happy to announce that our annual Santa Run will take place on December 19th, starting at 9:30 AM. This year the Santa Run will be parade style. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be able to stop for pictures, hand out candy, or deliver gifts.
Please look at the PDF link for Santa’s Route with locations and approximate times. We recommend that anyone wishing to see Santa be along the posted route a minimum of 5 minutes before the posted time for your location / closest location. Santa will be traveling at a slow speed for pictures from afar, but will not be stopping.
Social Distancing, per CDC and PA Dept. of Health Guidelines, along the parade route is strongly recommended. Our mission is to provide everyone in Eastern Salisbury a chance to see Santa in a safe manner during these difficult times. While we appreciate the delicious treats we have received in the past, this year we will be unable to accept any food related items.
This year has been tough on everyone, and we appreciate your understanding as we navigate through this year’s Santa Run. If there are any questions, please feel free to message us on Facebook or email us at Events@easternsalisbury.org.
