Southern Tier Santa is a authentic Santa Claus serving the southern tier of New York and northeast Pennsylvania during the Christmas season. Back when I was a State Trooper, I started performing Santa at our station’s children’s Christmas party in 2010 when we were in need of a Santa Claus. I bought an inexpensive suit and performed for the event. The next year I performed again and started to upgrade my costume. During this season, I was watching HLN and saw a news clip about a Santa Claus school in Michigan. This is where it all began, pointing my life compass in the direction of the North Pole, and now I am honored to dedicate my time and energy portraying the Legend – Santa Claus. After further research and speaking to other Santa performers, I started on the journey to become a professional Santa Claus.
We have been performing across the southern tier. I also perform at nursing homes, private parties, photo sessions, parades, tree lightings to name a few. I am a graduate of the Charles W. Howard Santa School, have an Associate of Arts – Santa Clausology from the Intl. Univ. of Santa Claus, and Kringle University. I am a traditional Santa Claus and work as a performance based Santa.
The goal of Southern Tier Santa is provide a holiday experience like no other with a authentic looking Santa at your event. Being the very best Santa Claus is exactly what Santa Sal set out to become. Santa Sal is not a Santa for all venues. You will not find him sitting in malls. He is a Santa invested for the children to have a magical experience.
