The Festival of Lights Parade
In December of 2021, Santa Fin fulfilled his dream of being a Santa in a parade in The Festival of Lights parade in Waterbury, Vermont. It was a huge success, as his sleigh flew through the streets to cheering crowds, surrounded by his elves, as a magical light snow fell, and all of it was filmed for a documentary.

Santa Camp
At the end of August 2021, Santa Fin and Mama Claus went to the New England Santa Society’s Santa Camp. Santa Fin had a great time! He got to meet many other Santas and we learned about creating backdrops, staging, parades, public event planning, beard maintenance and costuming. It was a full weekend of joy and new friends.
