Wow! Wow! Wow! It was a night to remember as all of Kingsville stepped up to the plate! With over 75 entries, this year’s Santa Claus Parade had it all. Floats, marching bands, fire trucks, bicycles and scooters adorned in Christmas lights, horses, dogs and of course, Santa!

The sea of families that attended were not disappointed.

The Kingsville Fire Department collected toys and donations along the parade route along while Food Bank volunteers filled their shopping carts with non-perishable items.

The streets were jammed with spectators anxiously awaiting and enjoying the parade festivities before heading to Lakeside Park for the Fantasy of Lights show.

The festive evening ended with a fireworks display punctuated by cheers and a huge round of applause. It was, by far, Kingsville’s best Santa Claus parade.

Special thanks to Tony Gaffan, Karen Loney and their hardworking committee members, as well as to the Town of Kingsville, Ontario Provincial Police, Kingsville Fire Department. Our great appreciation also to all the volunteers and spectators who made this evening so spectacular!
