Santa Claus joined the Calumet & Laurium Christmas Parade aboard a firetruck from Calumet Township Fire & Rescue. The parade had residents gathering around several streets starting in Laurium and ending in Calumet with floats and vehicles from local law enforcement, the fire department and other organizations spreading Christmas cheer.

After the parade, Santa Claus made his way over to the George Gipp Ice Arena in Laurium to participate in a public skate to wrap up the holiday events of Christmas in Calumet. Santa was accompanied by players from the JV hockey Calumet Copper Kings and skated around to speak with the many children in attendance.
