Santa Tracker

Can't wait for Santa to arrive? Thanks to some North Pole magic, you'll be able to keep an eye on Santa as he makes his way around each community. The tracker will start just before each parade, and you'll be able to track Santa's progress live. Keep an eye on the Santa Tracker below on the day of each parade! 

Our Santa Tracker is subject to Santa's magic, but also the 5G signal in his sleigh, so may be subject to dropping out. If he stops tracking, check back in a few minutes. 

Santa Tracker will update before the start of each community parade
