LETTERS TO SANTA - November 27 to December 7, 2023

If your child writes to Santa Claus, Santa will return a letter to your child! Please drop off the letter at our building (561 Main Street South) in the drop box located to the right of the Parks & Recreation front door. Please include your child’s first and last name and a mailing address. NEW THIS YEAR: Santa wrote a letter to the children of Southbury and, at his request, we’ve created a template return letter for children to use - check the website for details. Southbury Parks and Recreation's team will help collect letters starting on Monday, November 27 to send to Santa. Letters will stop being collected by Thursday, December 7 (after all, Santa needs time for the letters to arrive, read them all, and deliver his letters back)!
