Mayor Dr. Michael Bruno and the Village Board Members have proclaimed the first Saturday of December as Santa Claus Day in the Village of Winthrop Harbor. It is a day designated to celebrate Jolly old Saint Nick and to welcome the Christmas Season in Winthrop Harbor. This will be a day-long celebration.
Santa will be in Winthrop Harbor on December 3, 2022. The Village will be rolling out the red carpet for Jolly old Saint Nick. The day will start with hosting a breakfast for him in his honor at the Schlader Building from 9:00 am – 10:30 am.
On the breakfast menu will be pancakes & sausage with orange juice, milk, and coffee to wash it down.
Breakfast will be $7
Children under 10 years old $5
The Queens of WH will be providing games/crafts for kids as well. Santa will be available to take pictures with the kids and their families before he begins his journey around the streets of Winthrop Harbor, which will begin at 11 am, following breakfast.

Santa Day
The Winthrop Harbor Police Department recently received a call from Santa requesting help in collecting toys for the children of Winthrop Harbor this Christmas. The police department quickly responded to this call and requested assistance from the Winthrop Harbor Fire Department and Public Works Department.
At 11 am, on December 3, 2022, the Winthrop Harbor Police and Fire Departments will be escorting Santa through the various neighborhoods of the Village, complete with flashing lights and plenty of blaring sirens to signal little ones that Santa has entered their neighborhood. Santa will be stopping in front of homes where the children are waiting for him. Once you hear the police sirens, that means Santa will be about 5 minutes away from your location. Grab your coats, cameras, and phones, along with the toys to donate, and run outside.
Let’s make sure no child is left out during the holidays, please help if you can. Let's meet our challenge and fill a truck full of toys and bring smiles to the Christmas season. We will be collecting new unwrapped toys during the Santa visit. Take a picture with Santa and donate a toy!
A van donated by The Outdoorsman will be following Santa's sleigh with elves collecting the unwrapped new toys for our local Toys 4 Our Tots.
