The miniparade—which features a fire truck, Santa’s sleigh on top a high-water vehicle and an SUV—travels to different Katy neighborhoods on evenings between Dec. 2-18, KFD Administrative Assistant Laura Wylie said.
Santa and his elves leave Fire Station No. 1 at 1417 Ave. D, Katy, at 6:30 p.m., Wylie said. Upon Santa’s arrival at a neighborhood, sirens, bells and music ring in the air, and families can wave to Santa. His elves pick up canned goods, which are donated to the Katy Food Pantry, and unwrapped toys, which are donated to the Lions Club and Toys for Tots, she added.
