Join us in downtown Welland for the 2024 Santa Claus Parade, Civic Square Tree Lighting Ceremony and a Merry Chili Holiday — three events in one!

This year’s parade starts at 5 p.m. sharp. Route: Canadian Tire Financial Services (corner of East Main and Wellington Streets), west on East Main Street, ending at Civic Square.

Join Santa Claus and Mayor Campion at Civic Square after the parade to light Welland’s Christmas tree. Take a photo, mail your letters to Santa, make a holiday craft, and meet festive characters.
