Where in Tampa Bay is Santa Claus?

Every December Santa drops in on Tampa Bay to partake in our warm sunshine and towering palm trees. Rumor has it that there have been a lot of good boys and girls this year! We have taken the liberty of listing Santa’s where-a-bouts while he is in town, so grab the little ones and head out to these fine locations to capture this year’s photo op with jolly old St. Nick!
