Nutley Chamber of Commerce hosts 62nd Annual Santa’s Arrival by Helicopter on Friday, November 29, 2024, at Nutley High School Park Oval, 300 Franklin Avenue.  Gates open at 1 PM and Santa is scheduled to arrive at 2 PM.  This highly anticipated and free festive tradition produced by Nutley Chamber and sponsored by local businesses has brought Santa and Mrs. Claus to town for decades!  Dr. Joseph Scarpelli will provide a mailbox outside the Oval Gate on Chestnut Street for children’s ‘wish list’ letters to Santa!

Host Robert Frannicola of Ultimate Entertaiment provides the energy as Christmas music fills the air, plus performances by GIA Dance Studio and Time 2 Cheer keep you entertained while awaiting Santa’s arrival.  Mrs. Claus will make her way around with Oval along with IWF Wrestlers to take photos with children in attendance.  Free giveaways from the chamber’s generous sponsors and vendors will be available, and a few lucky attendees will receive door prizes donated by our supporters.  (Rain Date is Saturday, November 30, 2024.  Gates open at 10 AM, and Santa is scheduled to arrive at 11 AM)
