Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot along the 3.5km route, especially if you have children who want a clear view of Santa.
- Consider bringing a donation of non-perishable food items or cash for the Georgetown Bread Basket Food Bank, as encouraged by the organizers.
- Check the parade route in advance to plan your viewing location and any potential road closures in the downtown area.
- Dress warmly in layers, as November weather in Ontario can be unpredictable, and the parade takes place outdoors.
- If you're interested in participating with a float or band, review the registration form and submit it well in advance of the parade date.
