Santa Claus himself will be making his grand entrance to Kingsway Mall, but before he settles in for his seasonal throne, he’ll be leading a cavalcade of festive floats and merry participants down Kingsway.
The parade route will commence at the east Airport Road entrance, just across from Superstore. It will then proceed along Kingsway, concluding at Kingsway Mall, where Santa will make his grand appearance. As the parade moves eastbound, there will be plenty of spots on the south side of Kingsway for families to safely watch the festivities.
For the best viewing experience, consider setting up along Kingsway from the Superstore to the corner of 109 Street. This stretch aligns with the parade’s route as it heads toward Kingsway Mall. Alternatively, you can find suitable seating options at Airway Park.
The event will also support Edmonton’s Food Bank, so remember to bring a canned food donation.
Here’s a quick rundown about the parade:
- Date & Time: Saturday, November 18th at 5 pm.
- Parade Route: Begins at the east Airport Road entrance across from Superstore, travels along the south side of Kingsway, and ends at Kingsway Mall.
