A Portsmouth Christmas Tradition

Every Christmas morning, Santa Claus fires up his Harley-Davidson and rides through the Park Manor and Simonsdale neighborhoods in Portsmouth, Virginia, stopping to hand out small toys to the children along the way.

It's a personal, homegrown tradition — not a business, a charity, or a ticketed event. Just Santa, his motorcycle, and a sack full of toys, sharing a little Christmas magic with the neighborhood.

Families can request a visit ahead of time or during the ride. Santa does his best to reach everyone, but visits depend on time and how many toys fit in the saddlebags — so there's no guaranteed arrival time.

Help Fuel Santa's Sleigh

Every visit and every gift is completely free. This is a personal community tradition — not a business, charity, or paid event.

Contributions are entirely optional and help cover toys, fuel, and a little hot cocoa. A secure way to chip in via Venmo or PayPal is coming soon.
