The magic of Christmas is coming to downtown Niagara Falls! The annual Niagara Falls Santa Claus Parade returns on Saturday, November 14, 2026, bringing families together for an afternoon of colourful floats, marching bands, festive entertainment and plenty of holiday cheer.
Gather along the parade route to enjoy creative holiday displays, costumed characters and lively performances from local businesses and community groups. The excitement builds as the parade makes its way through downtown, with the grand finale featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus!
The parade begins at 4 pm at Armoury Street and Victoria Avenue, travelling north along Victoria Avenue before turning onto Valley Way and continuing along Queen Street to City Hall.
The fun doesn’t end when the parade is over! Head to Centennial Square for a festive celebration featuring live entertainment, the Niagara Health Foundation Christmas Tree Lighting, the illumination of Queen Street’s holiday lights and a special opportunity to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa for collection by Canada Post. Families can also bring non-perishable food items or cash donations to support Project SHARE and help local families during the holiday season.
