Oakville Santa Claus Parade

About the parade

This year's theme, "Snow Much Fun!", celebrates the joy of winter recreation activities like skating, sledding, snowball fights, and all the snowy adventures that make the season magical.

The Oakville Santa Claus Parade has been delighting audiences for 76 years. Each year provides members of the Oakville community with the opportunity to come together and participate in the parade or watch the parade, bringing joy to young and young at heart.

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.
