Rogers Santa Claus Parade
Sunday, November 25th, 1 pm
Santa Claus is coming to town a month early this year, and for best viewing you’ll want to get downtown early as well. With more than 60 bands, floats and community groups, plus the opportunity to drop off donations to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, this is true festive fun. Visit their website for details on the parade route and parade etiquette.
Santa’s not just on parade, you can also breakfast with him very soon. Contact your local community centre to get your tickets, they’re going fast. Watch for Santa at your local mall as well. Man, he gets around.
