Murphy’s of Arlington and Columbia Gardens will be providing free hot dogs and beverages to all those in attendance. For planning purposes, when you register, please let us know how many hot dogs you anticipate your family will eat and how many will attend.

New this year – join us as we partner with the Arlington County Police Department to bring Christmas cheer to underprivileged children in our community. If you are able, please donate a new unwrapped present for newborns to age 17 at the event. Thank you for being one of Santa’s best helpers!
