Santa's Visit
The Nutley Chamber of Commerce sponsors Santa's Arrival in Nutley. It is held on the Friday directly after Thanksgiving. He has rode in on a horse drawn carriage, riden on the back of a fire engine, flown in by helicoptor and even sitting on the back of a bright red, antique convertable. Last year, over 1,000 townspeople and their children crowded the Oval to greet him. This event has become a tradition to be shared by successive generations of Nutleyites.
