What to expect

Santa and his elves visit a few neighborhoods each night, along with a parade of Camano Fire engines and ambulances. Elves collect donations for the Camano Fire food & gift card drive and hand out candy canes and other treats.

Bring a donation

Santa’s elves will happily collect your nonperishable food and other donations for the annual food & gift card drive benefiting the Stanwood-Camano Food Bank. In 2025, community members donated nearly 2,100 lbs of food during the four-day Santa Run.

Not on the route? Come find Santa!

Santa would love to visit every neighborhood on the island but he’s busy preparing for Christmas. If Santa isn’t coming to your neighborhood, you’re welcome to drive to where he’ll be that night. Use the Santa Run Route Map and Santa Tracker link – posted each night of the Santa Run – to follow his progress and time your arrival.
