Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club has received exciting news direct from elves at the North Pole!
Santa Claus will make a special guest appearance this Christmas Eve at Mooloolaba Beach at 5.30pm.
Santa knows his way around a sleigh, but what about a surf boat? Jolly Old Saint Nick will make an impressive entrance onto the shores of Mooloolaba Beach, not from the skies but from the sea.
In what has become a local tradition, Santa will arrive by surf boat onto the beach, in front of Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club at around 5.30pm. Heâll bring a sack full of treats for the children and stop for a visit and photos before he sets off on his big flight later that night.
Then to see him off in style, Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club is putting on a fireworks display to thank our community for their ongoing support, as well as to welcome visitors to Mooloolaba and remind them to stay safe this summer and swim between the red and yellow flags.
This Christmas Eve community event is free to attend and a fun way to start the festivities. Santa will make his grand entrance at 5.30pm, followed by fireworks at 7.15pm.
Santa has been visiting Mooloolaba Beach on Christmas Eve for the last 60 years. This long-standing tradition is a local initiative organised by Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Clubâs volunteers. It is a family-friendly event that locals and visitors to the region look forward to. So come down to meet Santa and the Mooloolaba elves.
âMooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club is proud to host this community event every Christmas Eve. Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year and we are honoured that Santa Claus makes time to visit us on his busiest night. So, come down for a traditional Christmas Eve at the beach with a celebration for the whole family. But remember, kids, heâs making a list and checking it twice, so make sure youâre not naughty but nice!â said Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club president Matthew Horder.
