When Does Santa Arrive in Crofton?

The holidays officially begin in Crofton on Dec. 1 with the Crofton Civic Association’s tree-lighting ceremony at Crofton Country Club.

According to the town hall website, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton children’s choir will sing carols outside the Country Club beginning at 6:45 p.m. that night.

People are encouraged to bring flashlights while awaiting Santa’s arrival. Santa Claus will arrive by Arundel Volunteer Fire Department fire truck at 7 p.m., which is when the tree will be illuminated.

Kids can visit with Santa in the Country Club’s banquet hall. Donations will be accepted for the fire department. While the children wait to see Santa, the local band Pocket Change will entertain with songs of the season.

Holiday crafts will be available for the children, as well as two entertainers: Jello & Flopsie.

The Country Club will provide light refreshments.
