Santa Claus is Coming to Port Jervis!

On Saturday, December 16, 2023, between the hours of 1pm to 5pm, Santa Claus will be taking a break from his very busy Christmas preparations at the North Pole to return to our beautiful City to be escorted through our streets and make various stops to visit children in our community.

The “Santa Tour” will be conducted in partnership with the City of Port Jervis Police Department, PBA, Fire Dept, and Outdoor Club of Port Jervis, to serve as honorary elves and escort Santa throughout our city.

During the event, Santa Claus will be escorted on a float to visit our city’s neighborhoods and stop at host locations to take photos, provide hot chocolate, and candy canes to help sweeten the day!  Everyone is invited to join Santa in his visit by meeting him at the below listed locations during the tour which will be hosted by our local fire fighters.

Santa Claus has a busy schedule to keep and wants to make sure he allows plenty of time to return to the North Pole making it necessary to follow a very carefully planned schedule. To help ensure everyone has an opportunity to see Santa, Santa has prepared the following stops:

1:25 pm:  Engine 5 Fire Station (143 West Main Street)

2:05 pm:  Orange Street Fire Station (25-27 Orange Street)

2:45 pm:  Engine 4 Fire Station (31 Owen Street)

3:15 pm:  Barclay Street City Park (Tri State Engine 6)

4:00pm:   Promenade at Downtown Front Street (Engine 2)

In between stops, Santa will be escorted through the city’s wards playing Christmas music and bringing cheer.

Please follow our social media pages for updates.  We hope to see you on December 16^th!

This special visit is brought to our community by the City of Port Jervis, Port Jervis Police Dept. and Police Benevolent Association, the Port Jervis Fire Department, and the Outdoor Club of Port Jervis.
