Santa and his elves will visit neighborhoods in Waterloo to hand out treats to youngsters as the annual Santa Float begins its run this Sunday night.

Four golden tickets will be hidden amongst the treats each night. Those receiving golden tickets can bring them to Waterloo City Hall on Christmas Eve for a toy. The float heads out at 5 p.m. each evening and is led by a city vehicle with flashing lights and a loudspeaker.
