Beaumont's 'Operation Santa' Happening Sunday

Beaumont residents are encouraged to head outdoors this Sunday to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus as he travels through the city to spread holiday cheer.

“He won’t be in his sleigh or with his reindeer,” city officials said of the annual event. “Instead, Beaumont police officers and fire fighters will escort Santa through the streets of Beaumont for a quick tour of our community and to spread holiday cheer before he returns to the North Pole!”

The event, dubbed “operation Santa” is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the police department. It was originally scheduled for Friday, but due to rain in the forecast, it was moved.

Santa’s trip through town is about 18 miles, and will be routed through the neighborhoods of Three Rings Ranch, Oak Valley, Stetson and Cougar Ranch.

He’ll also make two stops: One at the Chevron on Oak Valley and the other at the Stater Bros on Oak Valley.

A map of Santa’s route is attached to this article, and it can also be found online here.
