Santa Run 2025

The Mineral Springs Fire Department has been working closely with Santa's Secret Service, and we're excited to announce that we've officially confirmed the dates, times, and routes for Santa's visit to our community. Please not that markers on the routes are not stopping points, apparatus will continue though most streets in each neighborhood.

As always, our commitment to serving the community comes first. Santa will be joining us on emergencies, so please note that times may be adjusted, delayed, or cancelled depending on call volume. We appreciate your understanding as we balance spreading Christmas cheer with keeping our community safe.
