Neither of these are our town but both north bellmore and hicksville had theirs. My son is obsessed with firetrucks so we went to both.

West Babylon has our tree lighting this weekend (Dec 3rd). They have a small parade down Little East Neck Rd that the FD does. I'm not sure if they will do the rounds during the day before the lighting or not. I love this!! Even the older kids get excited.

Wantagh. My neighbor's DH is a local firefighter and told me the Santa Run is on Sat. Dec 17th.

The past few years they do a run in our neighborhood on Christmas Eve too.

I am Patchogue Fire Dept and can't find any information about it on their website. I always miss it! I would love to know in advance when it would be.

not exactly sure. It's usually in the late teens. I'm going to guess and say 12/17. I live for this too. It's such a touching and magical experience to see the kids faces light up and scream as santa approaches. the anticipation of knowing he is a few blocks down is awesome. lol the kids go nuts.

The past few years they do a run in our neighborhood on Christmas Eve too.



My ILs live in Wantagh and we used to live with them. Their neighbor is part of the FD and I think he said that on xmas eve they go to each of the member's houses. So we always get to see them b/c we spend xmas eve with my ILs. I think my DH likes it more than my kids.

We used to live in Lake Grove and it was covered by Centereach FD. The trucks would come around up until 11pm. They never directly went down our street so it was never super loud, but we were always afraid they would wake the kids.

They come around so late because they literally drive around all day and get held up at some places because of large crowds. They want to make sure they reach everyone.
I know it can be a little annoying later at night once the little ones are asleep, but it is only for one day, and they are doing it for the community, not to be a disturbance.
