A Sidewalk Santa Sighting in Benton Park

Join us for a safe, socially distant sidewalk visit from Santa!

On Sunday, December 20 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., Santa Kevin Nolan and his elves will jingle their way through the streets of Benton Park. Grab a cup of nog and join your neighbors outside to wave a hello and get a glimpse of the big man himself. Parents, get your cameras ready — photos are encouraged! Please remember to wear a mask and keep a safe social distance. Be sure to RSVP on Facebook.

To find out when Santa’s sleigh will pass your house, check the route below. Santa will visit every street in Benton Park, starting south of the park. The plan is to complete the route in two hours (between 6:30 and 8:30). For specifics and a better idea of timing, follow along on the Santa Tracker (we’ll share the GPS link on Sunday evening). Below, find Santa’s map and block-by-block route for the evening.
