Where to spot Santa when he comes to town

Montrose

Christmas Eve in Montrose wouldn’t be the same without the sound of Santa coming on the back of the truck.

This year won’t be any different, except Santa won’t be getting off the truck for photos.

But brigade members will be handing out wrapped lollipops.

Montrose CFA will be coming to a street near you between 1pm and 7pm – just listen.

Mount Evelyn

Santa will be coming to Mount Evelyn over four days in December, starting Monday 20 and ending Thursday 23.

Check out the list on the Mt Evelyn Fire Brigade Facebook.

Lilydale

Santa will be making the rounds on the back of Lilydale CFA’s firetruck on Monday 20 December.

The guy in red will be going on four different routes to cover nearly all of Lilydale in one night.

Head to the Lilydale CFA’s Facebook for the maps.

For those who miss seeing Santa on one of the routes, he will be outside the fire station from about 6.30pm to 7.30pm handing out goodie bags.

Mooroolbark

On Sunday 19 December Santa will be visiting Mooroolbark on the back of the CFA’s big red truck.

Instead of driving around the streets, Santa will be dropping by some local parks to meet the kids.

Times and places are happening all throughout the day.

Wandana Cres Playground – 9.30am to 10.15am

Summerhill Park Playground – 10.30am to 11.15am

Castle Hill Park – 11.30am to 12.15am

Lancaster Road Playground – 1.15pm to 1.45pm

Mooroolbark Heights Reserve – 3.00pm to 3.45pm

Bimbadeen Gardens – 4.00pm to 4.30pm

Chirnside Park

It’s confirmed Santa will also be touring Chirnside Park on Wednesday 22 December from around 4pm to 7pm.

Times and locations are still come so keep an eye on the Santa’s Coming to Chirnside Park! event on Facebook.
