Santa's Fire Truck Ride Through Bridgewater 2022: See When, Where

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Santa Claus will once again be making his way through Bridgewater Township atop a fire truck to kick off the 2022 holiday season.

Here is where and when you can spot him:

Bradley Gardens

On Sunday, Dec. 18, the Bradley Gardens Volunteer Fire Company will escort Santa on top of a fire truck down every street in Bradley Gardens. The run will begin around 12:30 p.m. and is usually completed by 3 p.m.

"Just listen for the sirens!" wrote the department.

Country Hills

On Saturday, Dec. 17, the Country Hills Volunteer Fire Company will be coming to the Country Hills Bridgewater response area starting around 6 p.m.

Green Knoll

Santa will be escorted by the Green Knoll Fire Department on Saturday, Dec. 17 beginning at 1 p.m. to its response area. Santa will hit every road that is easily accessible for the fire trucks. If the fire trucks can not fit down your road easily, residents are asked to come to the end of the road. Santa will not be exiting the fire trucks and is not handing out gifts during the Santa run.

Martinsville

The Martinsville Volunteer Fire Department will host its annual Santa Run on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24 beginning between 4 and 5 p.m.

For the third consecutive year, Santa Claus escorted by North Branch firefighters and trucks will come right to response area families' front door step.

For a $50 donation to the firehouse, Santa will arrive on a fire truck with lights and sirens, drop off a pre-wrapped gift to your home, and spend a few minutes with your children and grandchildren before posing for a few pictures.
