The City of South Pasadena’s Community Services Department has announced the return of its annual Breakfast with Santa event and the release of the 2026–2027 Winter Recreation Guide. Tickets for Breakfast with Santa and registration for winter recreation classes both open Sunday, Nov. 1, at 8 a.m. Both are open to residents and non-residents.

Breakfast with Santa will take place Saturday, Dec. 12, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the War Memorial Building, 435 Fair Oaks Ave. The holiday tradition brings families together for a festive morning of holiday cheer, breakfast and a special visit with Santa. The city says the event is a community favorite that sells out each year.

Tickets are $25 per person, and children ages 2 and under are admitted free. Ticket sales begin Sunday, Nov. 1, at 8 a.m., and all sales are final. Because of the event’s popularity and limited availability, the city encourages community members to purchase tickets early at southpasadenaca.gov/events.
