Celebrate 70 years of holiday magic at the London Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 14, 2026! This beloved community tradition returns with a special theme, A Canadian Christmas, bringing festive cheer to the streets of London.
Bundle up and bring the whole family to enjoy a spectacular evening parade featuring colourful floats, marching bands, dancers, festive music and creative displays from local businesses and community groups. Thousands of spectators will line Dundas Street to celebrate the season and welcome the guest of honour, Santa Claus himself!
Families are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations for the London Food Bank, which will be collected by volunteers along the parade route. You can also support the parade’s Toonie Toss fundraiser, helping cover the cost of marching bands and entertainment.
The parade begins at 6 pm, starting at Dundas Street and Ontario Street and travelling west along Dundas Street to Ridout Street.
Can’t make it in person? Families can also enjoy the festivities from home through the official YouTube live stream.
The parade takes place rain or snow, so dress warmly and get ready for a magical evening of holiday fun!
