Eight years ago, Voorhees Township resumed the wonderful holiday tradition of Santa Claus
touring our town on a fire truck. The tradition will continue this holiday season and we hope it
brings smiles to the faces of children and adults alike.
Between 3 and 9 p.m. on Saturday, Santa will visit Ashland Terrace (between Echelon and Somerdale roads), Avian, Brian’s Run, Burnt Mill, Cherry Brook Farms, Christopher Tract, Green Ridge, Hearthstone, Kirkwood (north of White Horse Road), Kress Acres, Main Street Colony, Old Ashland, Osage, Partridge Run, Rainwood and Willow Oaks.
During the same hours on Sunday, he will ride through Alluvium Woods, Beagle
Club, Buttonwood, Carriagebrook Farms, Echelon, Echelon Condominiums, Foster
Square/Town Center, Foster Square, Franklin Square, Kirkwood, La Bonne Vie, Las Brisas,
Main Street Estates, Main Street Condominiums, Mews Condominiums, Sheppard Road., Three
Ponds, Rygate, and Wilderness Lakes.
On Saturday, Dec. 6, during the same hours, look for Santa in Ashland Terrace/Turbridge, Hann
Ave., Highpoint, Lake Villa Drive, Staffords Wold, Staffordshire Farms, Staffordshire Estates,
Sturbridge Lakes, Sturbridge Estates, Sturbridge Woods, Sunnyfield, Terrace Blvd., Whispering
Pine, Woodcrest Acres, and Woodcrest Commons.
Santa’s last ride on Sunday, Dec. 7, also from 3 to 9 p.m., will be in Acorn Hill, Alluvium, Alluvium Lakes Condominiums, Alluvium Woods, Braddock’s Woods, Centennial Mill, Devonshire, Elm Tree, Fairway Estates, Garibaldi, Huntington Ridge, Lake Villa, Lafayette Hills, Lafayette Glenn, Lost Tree, Reserve at Voorhees, Ridgeview, Royal Court, Ryder Club, Terra Verde, Traditions, West Berlin and Woodbrook.
Listen for the fire truck sirens in your area. While Santa will not be able to make individual house
visits, he will move slowly enough for everyone to wave and say hello. Don’t miss this
festive opportunity to see him. Dates and times are subject to change depending on weather, emergency calls for service and Santa “emergencies” at the North Pole.
Santa will be back in Voorhees on Saturday, Dec. 20, at the Kirkwood Fire Station headquarters,
2002 South Burnt Mill Road, for our fire department’s annual cookies with Santa. Bring your
camera to take pictures. The free event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Thank you to our Voorhees Township Fire Department and EMS personnel for helping with
these holiday traditions.
