Reminder: Santa’s Coming to Town: Saturday, December 5th @ 6:15 PM

Santa is coming to town!  This year, the Jenkintown Recreation Board in conjunction with the Jenkintown Fire Department will bring you an evening of holiday cheer Saturday, December 5th.  Join us on Facebook live as Santa lights the tree in Town Square at 6:15 PM. He’ll then jump on a firetruck and drive around town. Santa’s parade route is posted here so you know when to come out and get a glimpse of the big guy! We’ll also be collecting letters to Santa that he’ll take back to the North Pole.

Be sure to like and follow the Rec Board on Facebook for all the latest news and upcoming events.
