Our 2022 Santa Runs will take place from approximately 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (with a short break in the middle of the day to feed the reindeers) as listed below. Please note these times are approximate, we may start a little before 10 a.m. and may finish before 6 p.m. Our goal is to ensure (weather permitting) that we reach all of the areas identified for the day and not necessarily based on the exact timelines indicated.
The dates and the list of neighborhoods, subdivisions, and street directions to help describe when and where Santa will visit neighborhoods atop the Burke Volunteer Fire and Rescue Engine Sleigh, as listed below. (note that these sections on each day are in no particular order)
To view highlighted maps showing the route that Santa will take, please click on the applicable links below. If your street is not highlighted, please come to the next closest street in order to ensure that you do not miss Santa!
Please email Santa@bvfrd.org if you have any questions or concerns about the Santa Runs.
If Santa is unable to visit due to weather or other circumstances, please attend one of our Meet and Greets (also listed below) as we will not be able to make up the missed run/streets.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DRIVER MUST MAINTAIN THE SAFETY OF SANTA AND THE CREW AT ALL TIMES. UNLIKE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY OR LANDING ON A ROOF FOR THE BIG SHOW, SANTA CANNOT BE GUARANTEED TO COME DOWN EVERY STREET. PARKED CARS, POWER LINES, LOW BRANCHES, AND TIGHT ROADS WITH LIMITED RADIUS FOR TURN AROUND ARE THE MAIN REASONS FOR BYPASSING AN AREA. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND AS WE BEGIN OUR HOLIDAY RUNS. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO VISIT EVERY AREA, BUT MUST BALANCE THAT WITH BOTH SAFETY AND TIME CONSTRAINTS.
