When To Expect Santamobile Around Falls Church In December

FALLS CHURCH, VA — Santa Claus is coming to town — that's the word from the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department.

The volunteer fire department will again host its Santamobile in 2022. Falls Church volunteer firefighters will accompany Santa as he visits Falls Church neighborhoods atop a festive fire truck from Dec. 15 to 23.

Visits happen between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. As residents hear sirens and music and see lights, they can step outside to greet Santa and his elves. Santa's helpers hand out candy canes and winter fire safety tips to spectators.

Santamobile will first visit neighborhoods in the City of Falls Church between Dec. 15 and 19. If a visit is canceled due to weather or other factors, a make-up date will be attempted between Dec. 20 and 23. If there aren't make-up days, the Santamobile will visit surrounding neighborhoods in Fairfax and Arlington counties.

A map of Santamobile's visits, the same as 2021, is available here. During the scheduled night for your neighborhood use the Santa Tracker on the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department's Facebook page.

During Santamobile visits, residents are encouraged to wear masks, practice social distancing, and stay on sidewalks to greet Santa and his helpers. Drivers who encounter the Santamobile are asked to slow down, keep their distance and watch for Santa's helpers in the street.
