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 and have an Associate of Arts – Santa Clausology from the Intl. Univ. of Santa Claus.  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.
