Parade questions
How early should we book Santa?
As soon as you know your date. Weekends in November and December go first, and Christmas Eve is usually the first date to fill. We recommend booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead for the best choice of times. Last-minute? Send an inquiry anyway, because cancellations do happen.
What happens if weather interferes?
Safety comes first for everyone, reindeer included. For indoor bookings, Santa will make every effort to arrive, and we'll keep you updated if a storm is forecast. For outdoor events and parades, we'll work with you on a backup plan, such as an indoor location, a shorter appearance or a rescheduled date, so the magic still happens.
How do I get a final quote?
Use the rate estimator for a quick estimate, then send a booking inquiry with your date, location and event type. You'll receive a confirmed quote and availability by email. Pricing depends on the type of event, how long Santa stays and where you are, and special requests or unusual locations can change the final price.
