Here's When Santa Is Coming To Lanoka Harbor

LANOKA HARBOR, NJ — Though it's not quite Thanksgiving yet, Santa Claus is getting ready to visit town, and the Lanoka Harbor Fire Department has announced its map for the 2023 Santa Run.

Santa will be visiting from Dec. 5 through Dec. 10, though all dates and times are subject to change due to emergencies or weather. Routes will then resume on the next possible day and all areas will shift by one day.

"Santa Just confirmed his travel plans with Mrs. Claus and Rudolph for his trip to Lanoka Harbor!" the fire department said. "Santa's elves have sent us the plans for his sled and the members of LHFD will be getting hard to work in the next few weeks for his arrival!"

Before the run is the department's annual Breakfast With Santa on Dec. 3 from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the station.

For those who live outside of the area, the Forked River Fire Department has not yet announced their Santa Run dates as of Nov. 14. Patch will update when those are available.
