The Manhattan Beach Santa Float is a beloved local tradition. Each weeknight, Santa travels through town on his sleigh, stopping mid-block to greet children and families. A variety of different community groups assist Santa throughout his travels.
Note that Santa's float will not run in the rain and there are no makeups for rained-out nights.
In case you miss seeing Santa on your street, the Santa Float will make four additional appearances in the month of December:
December 2 at 5:00 p.m. - North End Business District Walkabout Special Santa Delivery
December 11 at 10:00 a.m. - The Great California Santa Stroll
December 12 at 5:00 p.m. - Manhattan Beach Fireworks
December 14 at 11:00 a.m. - Manhattan Beach Farmer's Market
