Markham's Santa Claus Parade

Santa Claus is coming to Markham.

This year's parade starts from the corner of Hwy. 7 and Main Street on Nov. 24 at 10 a.m.. It will travel north until St. Nick pulls back on the reins at the Markham Museum, just north of 16th Avenue.The 35th edition of the parade will feature Maple Leafs, Raptors and Marlies mascots, animals from the Toronto Zoo and marching bands. Non-perishable food items will be collected on the route.If seeing Santa once isn’t enough, you can see him the night before the parade at the 23rd annual Markham Village Festival of Lights. Santa will light the Christmas tree at Main and Robinson streets at 6:30 p.m., then hang around to visit and pose for photos.
