Kitchener 
Events Description
The City of Cambridge is excited to bring the cherished annual event to the community this year, and sends utmost appreciation to the dedicated volunteers who brought the event to life for over 50 years.
This holiday tradition continues as a special night time parade, one of few in Ontario where the twinkle and glow of magical parade floats, groups and bands sparkle in the eyes of all to see!
Santa’s Coming to Town and wants to chat!
Before Santa lights up the Cambridge Santa Parade, jolly old Saint Nick is making a special stop to hang out with his biggest fans, the kids! Stop by the Santa on the Air booth pre-parade (between 3:30 PM and 5:45 PM) for a festive chat and maybe even learn a few secrets from the North Pole. But don’t be late, because at 5:45 sharp, Santa’s hopping on his sleigh to lead the big parade. Visit in the mall parking lot.
Cambridge Food Bank will be collecting nonperishable food items along the parade route. Please consider a donation if you are able.
Looking for a comfortable spot to watch the parade? There will be seating available out front Browns Social House to enjoy.
