VIENNA, VA — Santa Claus is coming to town — that's the word from the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department.

The volunteer fire department will again host its Santa Runs in 2022. Vienna volunteer firefighters will serve as elves to escort Santa around Vienna on the 1946 Maxim fire engine.

Santa will make his visits to different areas of Vienna between Dec. 13 and Dec. 19. As residents hear sirens and music and see lights, they can step outside to greet Santa and his elves. Elves will hand out candy canes to spectators.
