Santa Claus will arrive in Boundary County aboard a convoy of decorated fire engines during the annual Chariots of Fire event on Friday, Dec. 20, as local fire districts team up to spread holiday cheer across multiple communities. 

The evening parade features fire engines adorned with Christmas lights as Santa is transported from station to station, offering families the chance to visit, take photos and enjoy holiday treats. 

Santa will begin his journey earlier in the day at the Naples holiday festival before climbing aboard a fire truck at 4 p.m. The parade will then travel to Paradise Valley Fire’s main station, drive through the area near the Restorium, before continuing on to North Bench Fire Station No. 1. 

Each stop will allow time for families to visit with Santa and enjoy the festive atmosphere. 

Chariots of Fire has become a popular holiday tradition in Boundary County, offering families a festive opportunity to welcome Santa as he travels between local fire stations. 

In addition to Chariots of Fire, Santa will also be making appearances at other local holiday events, including a visit hosted by the VFW during the Share the Light of Christmas community giving event.
