Santa Will Tour Garden City Starting Next Week

GARDEN CITY, NY — Get ready, because Santa Claus is going to be touring the Village of Garden City again this year, with help from his friends at the fire department.

Starting on Dec. 13, Santa will be riding around the village on a Garden City Fire Department sleigh. Santa and the fire department will try to go down every block in the village, but won't be able to make it to every one. Space restrictions on some blocks, like dead ends and clu-de-sacs, may make them impassable.

Santa's visits are scheduled for the evenings. He will leave the GCFD headquarters at 6:30 p.m. each night and be out until about 8:30 p.m. Here's his schedule:

• Dec. 13: North Estates / Western Section
• Dec. 14: Central / Estates Section
• Dec. 15: North Eastern Section
• Dec. 16: South Western / Estates Section
• Dec. 17: South Eastern Section

The schedule is subject to change due to weather or any emergency situations that may arise (both in Garden City and at the North Pole).

You'll be able to track Santa's route each day by visiting the fire department's Facebook page. There will be a link there each day to a Santa tracker.
