## About

Cupertino Parks and Recreation returns Signing Santa to Quinlan Community Center on Saturday, December 12. Deaf and hard of hearing children and their families spend time with a Santa who only communicates in sign language. An interpreter is on site to translate for friends and family. Every person attending, child or adult, must register individually in advance. The city still thanks families for the 2025 visit and then prints this 2026 return date, the 10 a.m. to noon window, and the resident and non-resident prices. Photos from past years are on the page; they are not a schedule of extra sessions.
