Surfin’ Santa at Seaport Village is Back

San Diego‘s coolest holiday tradition, Surfin’ Santa at Seaport Village, is about to splash into the season with the most epic beach-meets-holiday celebration ever!

Watch as this totally rad Saint Nick ditches the heavy winter coat for boardshorts and a Hawaiian shirt, making waves with a spectacular entrance.

Surfin' Santa at Seaport Village

Catch the Ultimate Holiday Wave

Get ready for the most awesome Santa entrance you’ve ever seen as the big guy cruises in from San Diego Bay on a wave runner!

After leading a super festive parade to the fountain courtyard, Surfin’ Santa will be ready to snap incredible photos with families on his massive surfboard—complete with a six-foot wave that’ll make everyone look like surfing pros.

Our beach-loving Santa also leads a magical journey to Malibu Farm where—get this—the first snowfall of the season creates an absolutely incredible winter wonderland right on the boardwalk.

See you there!

Surfin’ Santa at Seaport Village takes place November 30 from 12 PM to 4 PM at 849 W Harbor Dr. Grab your crew and arrive early to snag the perfect spot for Santa’s radical watercraft arrival. All events and photos are totally free!

See you there, San Diego!
