Santa is making his way through Altona, Newport and Williamstown this December, spreading festive cheer and posing for photos with locals of all ages.
Bring the kids, round up the grandparents, grab your friends, or bring along your four-legged family members and capture a special Christmas memory together.
Dogs are welcome, but please keep them on a lead at all times. If you or your little ones would prefer some space from pets, just let our friendly team know and we'll make sure you're comfortable.
Santa's sleigh leaves promptly at 1pm, so don't leave your visit too late.
Make a day of it and enjoy everything the season has to offer, with festive activities, local shopping, dining and community celebrations happening across Hobsons Bay.
