Arriving December 7th!

Welcome! Please use this page for general event information, safety guidance, schedule details, and event maps to enjoy the Sugar Express Santa Train!

INFORMATION

The Sugar Express is operating a real-life steam train to deliver hundreds of gifts to the Toys for Tots programs in South Central Florida. Santa will be along for the ride to wave at children along the route from the train, and at each of the four stops, children will be able to drop off a letter for Santa and see him in person.

Elves on the Sugar Express Santa Train will also be delivering gifts for the Toys for Tots program at each of these stops. Interested parents can sign up to receive toys later in December directly from the program at: toysfortots.org.
