One of the oldest traditions in Silvermine is back, but with a twist. Santa will once again drive around Silvermine on his antique fire truck this Christmas Eve between 2-3pm.

Unfortunately, Santa will not be able to hand out presents this year. That wouldn’t be safe. Instead, he will be riding around Silvermine and waving to neighborhood families as he passes by. This VIP will even have a police escort!

This event is open to all. The driving tour starts at 2pm and finishes at 3pm on Christmas eve. Find a street corner to wait for Santa on the map below – or drive by the Silvermine Arts Center between 3-3:15pm where you can wave to him from your car.
