The climate change rebels will take to Kiewa and Olive Streets from 5pm aiming to bring "urgent public attention" to address the "climate emergency".
And the action will have a Christmas theme.
Spokesperson Paul Mannings said the action will be a "performative display of dark humor in the light of the climate crisis".
"Santa and his elves will be travelling down Dean St in Albury," he asid.
" Santa is feeling anxious though - the melting polar ice caps are taking a toll on his operation and he is struggling to support the elves.
"Feeling the heat now, but knowing it's going to get hotter, they are imploring us to pull together and help turn the ship around."
