Santa Runs: When Santa Will Visit Burke Neighborhoods In 2021

BURKE, VA — Santa Claus is coming to town, joined by hometown helpers in Burke for the annual Santa Runs. The Burke Volunteer Fire and Rescue Fire Department has announced the schedule for the 2021 Santa Runs.

The jolly man in red will once again visit Burke neighborhoods atop the Burke Volunteer Fire and Rescue Sleigh along with his elves. Santa's visits will happen between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on upcoming weekends in December. The schedule includes a short break in the middle of the day.

Residents use the Glympse App to track Santa's movements through the volunteer fire department's Facebook and Twitter pages. Santa cannot be guaranteed to visit every street, as safety and time limitations must be considered.

In the case that Santa cannot visit due to weather or other circumstances, efforts to make up missed areas will be made when possible. Cehck for updates online and on social media.
