The much loved Santa Claus Parade will have a different format this year. Join us for an
evening walk-thru event on Cane Parkway. Themed floats, musicians, buskers, and of course Santa himself, will be stationed along Cane Parkway so bring the family and enjoy a winter walk past all of the displays to get you into the holiday spirit.
Floats and entertainment will be parked in the south-bound lanes on Cane Parkway and attendees will be able to walk in the north bound lanes which will provide lots of room to phyiscal distance.
Please remember to bring non-perishable food items or a monetary donation for the Newmarket Food Pantry.
We will also be collecting letters to Santa that will be mailed to the North Pole.
Please remember to include your name and return mailing address if you would like a response from Santa and his elves. Santa's address is:
Santa Claus
North Pole
H0H 0H0
