Santa Runs In Burke 2019: Schedule, Tracker

BURKE, VA — Santa Claus is coming to town. It's an annual tradition for Santa to visit neighborhoods in Burke atop a fire truck. The Burke Volunteer Fire Department has announced Santa's schedule for the 2019 holiday season.

Santa will make his rounds in Burke and host several meet-and-greets from Dec. 2 through Dec. 24. Visits happen between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Weather and other factors may impact the schedule. Santa may not be able to visit every street due to safety factors like tight roads, power lines, parked cars and low branches.

Check for schedule updates at bvfrd.org/2019-santa-run-schedule and on the volunteer fire department's social media pages. The Santa tracker will be available on Twitter via the Glympse App.
