Santa’s annual tour of the City of Cranbrook on Christmas Eve – an event that has become such a popular, long standing community tradition – has been confirmed by Santa’s elf public relations team.

“This decades long tradition coordinated by Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services, is an honour that the department looks forward to every year,” said Scott Driver, Director of Fire & Emergency Services.

“The Cranbrook Firefighters are so happy to continue this tradition, as there are generations of families that make a point to come out and get a quick glimpse of Santa on Christmas Eve. We are grateful that Santa’s tour on Christmas Eve continues to be part of so many cherished family memories.”

The tour through the community will start Sunday, December 24 at 4:00pm, escorted by off-duty members of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services. Every effort will be made to have Santa visit as many areas of the community as possible Christmas Eve. The overall schedule provided is an estimate.
