Every Friday and Saturday in December – Dec. 4-5, Dec. 11-12, and Dec. 18-19 – Santa will swing by the Old Mill District and pick up the letters in the special Christmas mailboxes.

Exact times will be announced soon.

With a little help from his friends in Bend, Santa will be driven through the OMD in the back of a pickup truck, allowing him to wave and interact with everyone in the Old Mill District while he picks up the letters, but in a way that respects the current health and safety guidelines.

The public is encouraged to come down and cheer on Santa every Friday and Saturday in December as he collects his holiday letters. We do ask that spectators maintain proper distance between one another and Santa and his special helpers.
