Santa Claus is coming to town.
When and Where
Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025 at 2 p.m.
The parade will feature a festive mix of floats, and community groups, the Burlington Teen Tour Band, Junior Redcoats and other marching bands. As always, Santa will be the grand finale of the parade.
The parade begins at 2 p.m. at the corner of Drury Lane and New Street and will make its way downtown along New Street. The parade then travels north on Brant Street and finishes at St. John the Baptist Church on Brant Street at Blairholm Avenue.
Roads will close at varying times along the route and will re-open shortly after the final float has moved through and a clean-up has been completed. For the most updated information including the full parade route visit, the road closure page, details will be posted 1 week prior to the event date.
Residents living in the parade area are encouraged to plan ahead as detours and delays are expected.
Children are encouraged to bring their letters for Santa. Letter carriers from Canada Post will collect them along the parade route, or they can be dropped into any Canada Post mailbox.
The Burlington Teen Tour Band Boosters will be collecting non-perishable food and Burlington Oldtimers Hockey Club will be collecting monetary donations in support of the Burlington Food Bank.
