Santa Claus will arrive in Burlington and they are planning a parade

He is on his way.

That’s right, Santa Claus is coming to town, and he will be welcomed with a parade in his honour this Sunday, Dec. 3 starting at 2 p.m.

This year the Burlington Santa Claus Parade starts at Guelph Line near Prospect St. and heads south to New St. From New St. it heads west and then turns into James St. and proceeds along to Brant St. Once on Brant it heads north where it will end at Caroline St.

Burlington’s parade with Santa has been ongoing for almost 60 years and despite some disruptions during the pandemic, organizers say this year promises to be the best yet.

This year there will be marching bands, floats, clowns, elves, and of course, Santa.

Children are encouraged to bring letters for Santa, which will be collected by letter carriers from Canada Post along the parade route.

Anyone interested in volunteering at the parade can do so by visiting Burlington.ca/volunteer to register.
