Join the Saturday Santa caravan

Chamber-sponsored event already had over 50 vehicles in the tour of Bluffton's holiday lights

Most people think of Santa riding in a sleigh. Not, in Bluffton. Here, he rides in a 1920s-era fire truck.

And, you may join Santa on a Saturday evening cruise around town to see the holiday lights.

It's the longest-ever holiday caravan of vehicles in Bluffton. As of Thursday afternoon 53 vehicles were already signed up to participate.

Santa (and maybe Mrs. Claus) will lead the vehicles while they ride in the fire truck. Jon Kinn will drive the couple and the Bluffton police will lead the caravan.

Here’s how to participate:
