Santa Tracker and Routes

Santa Claus is coming to town! Beginning Sunday, December 15 through Friday, December 20, Santa will be riding through the neighborhoods of Highland Village on the Fire Engine. Routes will begin at approximately 6 p.m. and finish up around 8:30 p.m. each evening. Nightly route information will be published on the Fire Department Facebook site and City of Highland Village website calendar. Sirens, lights, and Christmas music will be a good indication that Santa is on your street. We ask that, if at all possible, you park vehicles in the driveway to help the Engine maneuver down your street. This is especially helpful if you live on a cul-de-sac.
