The Santa Claus Parade is returning to Downtown Windsor  on December 2nd, 2023, at 6:00pm.

This year marks the 55th anniversary of the Windsor Santa Claus Parade. The parade, which has been held on Wyandotte Street for the last few years, will now twinkle and shine through a nostalgic route from Wyandotte Street to Riverside Drive, and then proceed on Riverside Drive to Caron Avenue. Staging will take place on Ouellette Avenue, between Erie Street and Wyandotte Street, and destaging on Caron Avenue.

“The Santa Claus Parade has always been a beacon of joy and unity for our community,” said said DWBIA Executive Director Debi Croucher. “Its return to the downtown this year is a heartwarming homecoming, reigniting the festive spirit in the heart of Windsor. We invite everyone to join us on this 55th anniversary of the parade.

“The downtown area has such vibrant energy and historical charm,” she added, “and it provides a perfect backdrop for this beloved tradition. The return of the Santa Claus Parade to its original route is our gift to the community, a way to reignite the spirit of the holiday season in the heart of our beautiful city.”

Ward 3 Councillor Renaldo Agostino added, “The return of the beloved Santa Claus Parade downtown will bring joy and warmth to our streets, fostering a sense of togetherness that is more important now than ever before. Its revival signifies a step towards reclaiming the vibrancy and spirit of our downtown, and I am committed to ensuring that this year’s parade is not only a celebration of the holiday season but a testament to our unwavering community spirit.”

To make this event even more special, The Windsor Parade Corporation is inviting local businesses, groups, and individuals to be a part of the parade and create a float that will dazzle and delight attendees of all ages. Those interested in participating and contributing to the magic of the parade are encouraged to download an application form which can be found at www.windsorparade.org.
