The Rotary Clubs of Brockville, along with City of Brockville officials and employees, have confirmed that Santa and Mrs. Claus will be in attendance for this year's parade!
Join us to kick off the start of the 2022 Christmas holiday season with your family, friends and visitors to Brockville.
The official time and date for this year's Santa Claus Parade is from 5:00 pm until 7:30 pm on Saturday, November 26, 2022 in Downtown Brockville.
This year's theme is a "Royal Christmas".
It has been 2 years since we have been able to have a traditional parade, so it is with great joy that we are announcing the return to the normal parade, where we are anticipating having upwards of 100 entries.
The entries could be pulled by vehicles, walking, riding, bands, animals, chorists and clowns, all with the theme of a Royal Christmas in mind.
Visit this site often, as it is continually being updated with new information.
As with any large event, traffic congestion can always turn something special into something frustrating, unless you plan ahead.
To maintain the safety of the visitors, no parking will be available on the parade route.
Please see the "Road Closures" section below for important details necessary to plan your route to the area.
We recommend that you consider walking and leaving your vehicle at home or further away from the downtown core.
This will leave spaces available for visitors who may have difficulty managing the extended distances.
