Surfin’ Santa arrives at Seaport Village November 28.
Look out at the bay! It’s a sleigh! It’s reindeer! Not even close. It’s Santa arriving by Firestorm!
Named by USA Today as one of the 10 Best Santa Sightings, the jolly old man will be making his grand entrance wearing his trademark board shorts and Hawaiian shirt. But don’t expect him to arrive in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. The SoCal version of Santa Claus will be flying in to Seaport Village by Seaplane at 1PM, November 28.
The tenth annual Surfin’ Santa Celebration at Seaport Village will take place 1 to 5 p.m. Visitors can pose for pictures with Santa on his giant surfboard, riding a six-foot wave. The festivities include a parade along the boardwalk, kids crafting activities like eco-friendly ornament making, and live street performers. With 50 locally-owned shops open for the celebration, there will be plenty of stores for your holiday shopping.
