ALABASTER – Continuing a tradition, the Alabaster Fire Department will once again escort Santa Claus through the city on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, before he begins his journey around the world. The department recently released Santa’s schedule for the day.

During his tour of the city, Santa will ride atop a firetruck stopping at designated locations to visit with children and pass out candy. The department will soon install Santa Stop signs throughout the city, so be sure to locate the sign in your neighborhood so you’ll know where Santa will be.

Keep in mind, there could be delays due to fire/medical emergencies. Residents are advised to watch the Alabaster City Hall Facebook page and the AFD’s Instagram page on Christmas Eve for live updates.

The following is Santa’s tentative tour schedule, which may be altered if the AFD is called to respond to emergencies during the day.
