Santa will once again visit Gillespie County Airport (T82) in Fredericksburg, Texas, for the annual Santa Fly-In.

Held every year since 2019, Santa arrives for the 2025 fly-in on Dec. 20 at 1 p.m. in a red 1943 WACO biplane.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will include photos with Santa for “kids of all ages,” as well as hot chocolate and cookies, according to organizers.

While the event is free, one of the sponsors, Crosswind Aviation, is asking for help restocking the Fredericksburg Food Pantry with canned goods and non-perishable items.

Pilots are welcome to fly in to visit with Santa.
