Skydiving Santa returns to Longmont

After the inaugural skydiving Santa last year, I mentioned that this could be a good annual Longmont tradition. So it was great to see Santa drop from the sky again this year at Roosevelt Park, on a slightly warmer day this time, with blue skies and no wind.


Longmont is fairly well-known on the Front Range by the skydiving community, so this event makes sense in building up an event around one of our strengths.


I don't remember the post-touchdown "swarm" last year.


Unlike last year, the skating rink has already been open for a few weeks now.


Thanks to Brigette at the Longmont Examiner for mentioning that this event was happening this year. I didn't see the announcements, and would have missed the event altogether.

Holiday parade is tonight at 5 PM!
