Santa's Delivery 2107: What You Need To Know

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA – Santa Claus is coming to town early again this year with Radnor Township's Santa's Delivery event, which is set for Saturday, Dec. 9. But as Saint Nick and crews from surrounding fire companies make their way around the township, there are a few things residents should know.

Santa and crews from the Radnor, Bryn Mawr, Berwyn, and other fire companies will begin making rounds to drop off early gifts to township kids at about 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9. Deliveries are expected to be finished by about 9 p.m.

During the delivery period, residents should expect to hear sirens and see emergency vehicle lights throughout the township.

Officials also said deliveries may cause minor traffic interruptions.

Residents who dropped off gifts for Santa to deliver this weekend should keep their ears perked and eyes peeled for sirens and lights in their neighborhood between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

When you hear the sirens and see the lights, have your kids head to the end of your driveway to meet Santa. Kids should stay curbside and not venture out into the street to meet Santa. Vehicles should only be approached after they have completely stopped.

Santa and his motorcade ill stop by the following apartment complexes, as well:

• La Maison Apartments – Santa will come directly to each of your buildings
• Radwyn Apartments – Santa will come directly to each of your buildings
• Rosemont Plaza Apartments – Please meet Santa at the main entrance of the building
• Radnor House Apartments – Please meet Santa at the main entrance of the building

But what if you're unable to be home for Santa's delivery? Gifts that were undeliverable Saturday will be returned to the Radnor Township Building unless special requests have been made. Otherwise, you can get the gifts during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday to pick up your packages.

Lastly, if you were unable to drop off a gift for Santa to deliver Saturday, there is still a way to surprise the kids.

If the motorcade is on your street visiting other houses, you can slip your gifts to the people in the "present vehicle," which will be trailing the fire engine where Santa will be. If you plan to do this, officials ask that you make sure the address is on the gifts, as well as the child/children names so Santa knows who to give the present to.
