Santa begins his rounds in Grain Valley on the Santa Bus this weekend

One of the most beloved traditions in Grain Valley returns this holiday weekend, as the Santa Bus begins its weekly rounds throughout the City. An annual tradition, the Santa Bus travels throughout Grain Valley neighborhoods to visit with children and take photos. There is no cost to participate, and children of all ages are welcome to visit Santa.

The 2024 schedule is provided below. Santa's helpers ask that you not message asking about timing of their arrival in your neighborhood, as timing greatly depends on the number of young people visiting with Santa. 

Parents of young babies who cannot come out in the cold or other children with special needs may come to the bus and ask Santa to come inside.
