Here Comes Santa Claus Christmas Convoy!
Santa can’t invite all of his friends to join him downtown for the annual Light Up countdown due to Social Distancing guidelines. Santa, along with his elves from all over the world, will be very busy at the North Pole making holiday presents, but he still wants to make sure all of the children in the Louisville area get a chance to send him their Christmas wishes.

In partnership with LG&E, 106.9 Play FM, AT&T and Neil Huffman Subaru, a mobile Santa Claus Convoy will visit more than 20 Kentuckiana neighborhoods, selected through nominations from our citizens on Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 5, 12 and 19. Christmas music will be playing, and a mobile video screen will play highlights from previous Light Up Louisville events as Santa’s convoy drives through Louisville’s neighborhoods.
