Operation Santa with the Dunedin Fire Rescue

Operation Santa will start on December 10 with the Holiday Parade, and the Dunedin Fire Department will escort Santa through the neighborhood indicated on the map. Santa will be heading out at 6 p.m. each night through December 21. We will adhere to the areas scheduled for each night as shown via the grid map link, returning Santa to the fire station at 8:30 p.m.

Finding out when Santa will be in your neighborhood is as easy as zooming in or searching on the attached map to find your street and its corresponding grid number. The date in your grid tells you when you can expect Santa to be in your area. For safety reasons, They will not be backing up or stopping in the right of way. If you hear them in the neighborhood and live on a dead-end street, you must walk to the nearest through-street to see Santa.
