Santa Claus was spotted in the North Natomas community on Thursday.
“Santa in Natomas” is an annual program is funded and coordinated by Sacramento City Councilmember Angelique Ashby’s office in cooperation with the Sacramento Fire and Sacramento Police departments.
For four nights each year, Santa makes several scheduled stops at area parks and neighborhood spots hosted by neighborhood and community groups.
Santa’s trek kicked off at Swainson Hawk Park in the Sundance Lake area and ended at Linden Park in Natomas Crossing. Tonight, his route starts at Westlake Park.
Santa will take a break to ready for Christmas Eve, but will resume his neighborhood travels next Thursday, Dec. 19 and Friday, Dec. 20.
As Santa is transported from stop to stop in a very large fire engine and Ashby’s office asks that residents remain on the sidewalk and not try to approach the vehicle. Santa does get off the truck to visit briefly with children and their families.
Each stop lasts about 5 – 10 minutes.
