Track Santa's Visits Around Vienna

VIENNA, VA—Santa Claus is coming to town. Yes, even before Christmas Eve.

In the coming days, the jolly old Saint Nick is paying visits to those on his nice list around Vienna. From Dec. 12-19, Santa will go out on the town atop a Vienna Volunteer Fire Department truck.

If you hear fire truck sirens and music, it might just mean Santa is outside your home. But to be prepared ahead of time, there's a Santa tracker. Visits are typically 5 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on weekends.

Here is Santa's schedule:

• Tuesday, Dec 12, 5 p.m. - NW1 (Between Lawyers and W&OD)
• Wednesday, Dec 13, 5 p.m. - SE
• Thursday, Dec 14, 5 p.m. - SW1 (Between Park and Hillcrest)
• Friday, Dec 15, 5 p.m. - NW2 (West of Madison HS and Laywers)
• Saturday, Dec 16, 1 p.m. - SW2 (West of Hillcrest)
• Saturday, Dec 16, 5 p.m. - NE1 (Between W&OD and Beulah)
• Tuesday, Dec 19, 5 p.m. - NE2 (East of Beulah)
• Wednesday, Dec 20, 5 p.m. - makeup
• Thursday, Dec 21, 5 p.m. - makeup
• Friday, Dec 22, 5 p.m. - makeup

During these times, you might just get a wave from Santa and a candy cane from one of his elves. Santa's visits are weather permitting. Check for a map of Santa's visits and weather updates on Twitter and on Vienna Volunteer Fire Department's website.

Santa will also be at the fire department's Pancake Breakfast on Dec. 16 from 8 a.m.-noon. Admission for kids four and under is free.
