Ho-Ho-Hold the Date!
Vaughan’s Santafest Parade returns Nov. 29
While many of us might still be warming up to the idea of fall, City of Vaughan staff are working with Santa’s elves to ensure this year’s Santafest Parade ‘sleighs.’
Save the date!
Join us on Sunday, Nov. 29 at 1:30 p.m. for this FREE magical celebration, featuring Christmas floats, marching bands, live performers and a special appearance by Old Saint Nick.
The parade will start at the intersection of Springside Road and Melville Avenue, travelling north on Melville Avenue, then east on Major Mackenzie Drive, ending at Vaughan City Hall (2141 Major Mackenzie Dr.).
Road closures
Temporary road closures will be in place that day to support a safe and enjoyable parade for everyone. Residences and businesses located on these roads will be impacted. Signage will be in place to guide traffic through the detour route. Roads will reopen once deemed safe by emergency services. Thank you for your patience and co-operation!
Road closure and parking updates will be announced and posted to vaughan.ca/santafest as they become available.
