This year Sunday December 18th\, he will ride again\, so mark your calendars. The Transcona Optimist Club puts the event on each year. \nOptimist Members along with Vickar Chevrolet spend days prepping\, mapping and decorating Santa’s sleigh for when he arrives. \nThe article continues below[spacer height=”40px” id=”3″] \n\n\n\n\n \n\n[spacer height=”40px” id=”3″]\nA lot of people remember way back when they were kids that the Santa sleigh would go up and down the streets of Transcona.” Now that our amazing community has grown so much\, our members work hard mapping a route every year. Repeatedly doing dry runs to reach across Transcona and mapping a route to hit as many streets they can in one evening. It is impossible for Santa’s sleigh to do all areas. They change the route year to year so others areas experience Santa’s visit! \nWe are on Facebook to give everyone a heads up where he will be\, so that you may get out to meet him\, he moves fast so follow the map route that will be posted on our page\, to see when he visits your area. \nWeather\, sleigh issues and time are just a few challenges to this event…. so be patient\, we will do our best. \nWe hope we add to this magical time of the year. We look forward to the smiles\, waves and cheers from young and old every year. Please stay safe and we ask that you don’t plug the intersections. \nFrom our hearts to your home\, See you December 18th\nMerry Christmas everyone!\nTranscona Optimists Club[spacer height=”40px” id=”3″] \n[spacer height=”40px” id=”3″] \nUpcoming Events\n\n	\n		\n		\n		\n			\n					\n							15\n							July\n							2026\n							\n							\n				\n		\n			2026 Winnipeg Fringe Festival at Old Market SquareDon't miss the epic 12-day Winnipeg Fringe Festival at Old Market Square (July 17-28\, 2024) in Winnipeg's Exchange District!
