The children of Copacabana are gearing up for a very special visit from Santa on Saturday, December 11.
The annual visit, which has been going on for 15 years, is organised by Navy Veterans’ Welfare Association of NSW based at Copacabana to foster a community spirit.
This year, Santa will be at the Flagpole lawn at 11:30am and outside the medical centre at noon.
Santa will also visit local shops to wish them a Merry Christmas.
Spokesperson Roque Hammal said around 200-250 children awaited Santa’s arrival each year.
“Copacabana residents look forward each year to this community event,” he said.
“Santa visits all the shops on the beachfront with gifts for owners and their staff.”
