The Santa Bikers Take Over Reims: A Parade That Makes Noise!
This Sunday, December 8, Reims will come alive with the sounds of horns and roaring engines. The Santa Bikers, a group of big-hearted motorcycle enthusiasts, are taking over the city for a festive and charitable parade. On the agenda: red costumes, white beards, decorated bikes, and most importantly, smiles for children in hospitals or in need. If you’re in the area, it’s the perfect opportunity to see them in action and join in a wave of generosity. Ready to uncover the story behind this extraordinary parade?
Who Are These Santas on Wheels?
Underneath their white beards and festive outfits, the Santa Bikers are primarily motorcycle enthusiasts with a passion for giving. Gathered in an association, they come together each year to bring joy to children during the holiday season who might not otherwise experience it.
Their goal? To collect gifts and deliver them to hospitals and care centers. But make no mistake, these bikers do nothing halfway. With motorcycles adorned in twinkling lights, striking costumes, and booming horns, they turn every ride into a spectacular event.
A Route Through the Heart of Reims
The meetup is set for the Carrefour Cormontreuil parking lot at 1:30 PM. From there, the planned route takes them through the city, with the first stop at Reims American Hospital and the local Children’s Home. There, the Santa Bikers will hand out their gifts.
After this touching moment, they’ll take to the major avenues of Reims: Épernay Avenue, Bocquaine Road, Paul-Doumer Boulevard, and more, creating a real parade down the city’s iconic streets. The finale is set for the Boulingrin parking lot, and trust me, with all the horns, lights, and costumes, you won’t miss them.
A Festive and Charitable Atmosphere
What makes this event amazing is that it puts everyone in the Christmas spirit. The bikers go all out decorating their bikes and outfits. Spectators of all ages line the streets to cheer them on.
And then, there’s this special bond among the bikers. A true camaraderie that is felt at every moment. They all share the same passion for the road and a desire to bring joy.

- Come out and cheer: The more people present along the route, the greater the impact of the event. So don’t hesitate to take a spot on an avenue and encourage them.
