Provincial health and safety protocols to help slow the spread of COVID19 have cancelled Santa Claus Parades for 2020. See you next year!
Santa has a very busy 2019 ahead of him, and so do you! Use our guide to find a Santa Claus Parade (or two) that fits your family’s schedule!

A few tips for attending your favourite Parade:
- Dress warmly – like super warm. You can always take a layer off
- Check the parking, road closures and shuttle bus services. Kids love a ride on a shuttle bus!
- Some parades collect cash donations, some bring some change and let the kids practice kindness.
- Don’t forget to bring your Letters to Santa! Get the important letter writing info here, and learn how to write a Santa a mindful and kind letter here.
- And most importantly, share this list with your friends so they can kick off their Christmas season with a Parade!
