Santa Comes to Town
December 7, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM @ City Hall
The City of South San Francisco and the Chamber of Commerce are planning for Santa’s arrival in South San Francisco on Saturday December 7, 2013 between 11a.m. and 3 p.m. arriving on a fire truck. Santa will be at City Hall to meet children. Families will have the opportunity to have one picture of their child, and can by bring their own camera as well for additional photos. Recreation staff will have a small gift, a hot beverage and the Police Explorers will assist with language translation and crowd control. We look forward to seeing you and welcoming Santa.
