ARF Calendar of Events
Look for ARF in the 2025 Santa Parade down Main Street and Newtown Lane in East Hampton Village. The fun starts at 10 AM with ARF’s Mobile Adoption Van in the Herrick Park parking lot followed by Santa’s arrival by helicopter in Herrick Park at 11 AM followed by ARF staff, volunteers and pups walking in the parade. Escorted by the East Hampton Village Police Department, Santa will ride to the front of the parade in grand style, kicking off the festivities at noon. Bring your family and friends to line the streets, enjoy the festive floats, and cheer on Santa as he spreads holiday joy throughout the village! ARF Volunteers are welcome to walk with us!
