Oakville Santa Claus Parade

About the parade

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. 

Today the event is organized by the Town of Oakville in partnership with a volunteer committee and the business community.

The parade would not be possible without the support of our volunteers, bands, float participants, walking groups, sponsors, and everyone who joins us in celebration. 

Together, you help keep this cherished community tradition alive year after year.
