Santa Claus is coming to town—and more specifically, he’s coming to Thorsby.

This Christmas Eve, off-duty volunteers from the Thorsby Fire Department will join Santa on his annual route through Thorsby between 5:30 p.m. and about 8 p.m.

St. Nick will climb atop a fire truck to make his visit around Thorsby just a few hours before he climbs in his sleigh to deliver presents around the world.

This year marks the 14th year that Santa and the TFD have put on this event, which has come to be called the Santa Run.

Santa has also planned to make scheduled stops for pictures this year. The stop schedule is as follows:

•5:45 p.m.: Robinson Lane and Deer Drive

•5:50 p.m.: 421 Frank St.

•6:10 p.m.: 8401 Jones St.

•6:30 p.m.: 60 Kaitlyn Drive

•6:45 p.m.: Howard St.

•7:15 p.m.: 25 Peachtree Drive

•7:45 p.m.: Wilson Circle and Glen Drive

•7:45 p.m.: Medical Center Drive

Thorsby Fire Department reminds residents to not call 911 to inquire about Santa; they can call the Thorsby Fire Station at (205) 646-3725.

Residents of Thorsby will also be able to stop by town hall or fire station to view Santa’s schedule.

If there is inclement weather, residents may visit Santa at the Thorsby Fire Station from 6-7 p.m.

If there is inclement weather after Santa has begun his route, he will return to the fire station and will be available for approximately one hour after returning.

TFD also reminds residents that Santa will be riding emergency vehicles that are on duty and on call.

If an emergency occurs, the vehicles will have to respond, Thorsby Fire Chief Lee Gunn said..

“In this case, we will make every effort to continue with Santa, but the emergency situation takes priority,” Gunn said. “We apologize for any inconvenience and will do our best to have. Santa visit as many neighborhoods and streets as possible.”

Santa has a big night planned after his visit in Thorsby, so he will have to be moving quickly. Make sure to check the schedule below to find out when Santa will be by your house.
