Each year, the St. George Fire Department gives Santa a ride on one of its firetrucks to parade him through the subdivisions of the St. George Fire Protection District.
During the weekend of Dec. 7 and 8, Santa will be rolling through neighborhoods mostly on the north and east side (Amite River side) of Airline Highway and those neighborhoods accessible from Airline, such as Briar Place and Woodridge.
On Dec. 14 and 15, Santa will visit neighborhoods on the south and west side (Mississippi River side) of Airline Highway.
Parades will leave each fire station at 10 a.m. on Saturdays and 12 p.m. on Sundays and will return at 5 p.m. or when it gets dark, whichever comes first.
Be advised, Santa may get called to an emergency during the parade, in which case firefighters will pick up the route again after the emergency.
