Tips & Advice
- Buy advance tickets at Schomberg Foodland, on sale starting in November, to pay less than the gate price on the day; children 12 and under get in free.
- Park at the Trisan Centre or Brownsville Junction and ride the free shuttle bus, since street parking is limited and police restrict parking on Main Street and Western Avenue.
- Get to Main Street before the Community Santa Claus Parade opens the evening, then stay for the Farmers' Parade of Lights, with Santa riding the biggest machine of all.
- Visit the indoor Christmas Market at the Schomberg Community Hall before the Farmers' Parade of Lights, because the market closes just as that parade begins.
- Dress warmly, since most of the evening is spent outdoors strolling Main Street among carolers, jugglers, musicians and food vendors selling hot cider and roasted chestnuts.
Special Events & Promotions
- This year's Santa Claus Parade theme is “Bringing the Christmas Magic to Life in Schomberg.”
- Advance tickets sold at Schomberg Foodland from November cost less than buying at the gate.
