Once again, Santa will take to the streets in Bellingham on November 24th, 25th, and 26th. Start time will be 11 AM at the fire department headquarters on 28 Blackstone St. Continuing safety protocols again this year, no lap sitting will be allowed. A photographer will be on hand to take photos with Santa for a $5 donation, and of course, all are welcome to take selfies with Santa. Santa will be making the same stops he made last year (see stops listed below). You can follow Santa’s progress on the Bellingham Lions Facebook page as the elves will be making real-time updates to track Santa’s route and approximate times of when he will be arriving at each stop.
