Oakville Santa Claus Parade

A magical day...

A heartfelt thank you to all the residents who came out to cheer, wave, and celebrate with us. Your energy lit up the streets and made the day unforgettable.

To our incredible walking groups, creative floats, and talented bands — you brought the spirit of the season to life. We also extend our sincere thanks to our generous sponsors for helping make this cherished tradition possible.

Santa Claus made a joyful appearance and reminded us all that the holidays are about togetherness, wonder, and a little bit of magic.

The first parade was organized in 1948 by Bill Hughes, then President of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The idea originated to encourage business in Downtown Oakville.
