Update: we’re starting in the northern part of the district , by Sheridan drive and making our way south. Kenilworth fire company is out in the district with Santa!!! Listen for the sirens as we will be going throughout the area to see Santa .

Attention Residents of Kenilworth: We have been talking back and forth with the North Pole and are happy to announce Santa will be making his annual trip to Kenilworth on Christmas Eve. Santa doesn't have to worry about COVID, but our fire department personnel still do and as a result things will look a little different this year. In order to keep everyone safe we wont be making any stops or handing out candy like we have in the past. We will still be driving around the district and will have updates about the route and times in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

Kenilworth will be out escorting Santa around the Kenilworth fire district on Christmas Eve starting at 11am. We will be starting in the north end of the district and working our way south.
