December 3, 2025 —The Richmond Hill Fire Department officially kicked off its annual neighborhood Santa Runs this evening, bringing joy, flashing lights, and holiday excitement to families across the city. Beginning at 5:30 PM and continuing through 8:30 PM, Santa made special appearances throughout Magnolia Manor, River Oaks, Sterling Woods, Station Exchange, and Ways Station Apartments.

This year marks an exciting addition to the tradition: a brand-new real-time Santa Tracker, allowing residents to follow Santa’s journey through Richmond Hill as he travels with the fire department. The tracker went live today at https://bit.ly/RHSantaTracker, offering families a fun, interactive way to anticipate Santa’s arrival.

The Santa Runs will continue throughout the season, ensuring that Santa visits neighborhoods across the city. Richmond Hill Fire Department encourages residents to step outside, wave hello, and enjoy the festive spirit as Santa and his firefighter helpers spread Christmas cheer.

Santa is officially on his way—coming soon to a neighborhood near you!
