The Giglio Boys have been bringing Santa to the neighborhood for 29 years. Neighbors line up on Lorimer down along Metropolitan from 2 p.m.– 4 p.m. to take a photo with Santa and for the kids to get a present from Santa. 

It’s also a bit of a homecoming for some that left the neighborhood and a celebration for those still here. The first event in 1995 was much smaller. Each year since it’s grown and has become a wonderful Buon Natale to the community.
