HOBOKEN, NJ — Sunday will be alive with the sound of Santa ho-ho-ho-ing through Hoboken, followed by more than a dozen local musicians performing holiday tunes to benefit Hoboken's 2023 Cultural Affairs programming.

Santa's Schedule

Postponed from last week due to the weather, Santa Claus will begin his route on Jefferson Street between 14th and 15th Street at 11 a.m. Sunday. He'll wind his way throughout Hoboken until approximately 3 p.m.

Santa will make three pit stops along the route at Seventh and Monroe Streets, Church Square Park, and 11th and Washington Streets to take photos with residents.
