Santamobile 2023: See Schedule For Visits Around Falls Church

FALLS CHURCH, VA — Before Santa makes his final preparations for Christmas, he will make visits to Falls Church earlier this year.

The Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department will bring back its Santamobile from Dec. 8 to 16. Santa will visit different City of Falls Church neighborhoods each evening from Dec. 8 to 12. The remaining days will be set aside for surrounding neighborhoods of Fairfax and Arlington counties.

"This festive community tradition shouldn’t be missed," said Jenny Quinn, the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department’s Santamobile coordinator. "We can’t wait to see everyone starting December 8.

During the visits, Santa will ride atop his "sleigh" on a fire truck. Santa's elves from the volunteer fire department will hand out candy canes and fire safety information. When residents see the holiday lights and heat the sirens and holiday music, they can step outside to greet Santa.

Here's the tentative schedule, weather permitting:

• December 8: South of W. Broad Street in the St. James Cemetery and Virginia Forest neighborhoods up to and including Seaton Lane and S. Oak south of the Tripps Run bridge.
• December 9: North of W. Broad Street including Little Falls Street.
• December 10: South of W. Broad Street in the Tyler Gardens neighborhood and Virginia Forest neighborhood south of Seaton Lane; also includes streets north of the Tripps Run bridge (Hillier, S. Oak, Lee, Rees, Chanel).
• December 11: The Little Falls neighborhood, and streets east of Washington Street including the Madison Park and Whittier Park neighborhoods.
• December 12: Broadmont neighborhood and streets on the north side of Hillwood east of Cherry Street.

Residents can find Santa's real-time "Santa Tracker on the volunteer fire department's website, Facebook, and Instagram pages with a real time "Santa Tracker." Any schedule changes and cancellations will be shared on social media.
