Santa Claus is making his way to Vaughan! The annual Vaughan Santafest Parade returns on Sunday, November 29, 2026, bringing a magical afternoon of colourful Christmas floats, marching bands, lively entertainment and plenty of holiday cheer for the whole family.
This much-loved community tradition brings together local schools, sports teams, businesses and community organizations for a festive celebration filled with creativity and Christmas spirit. Families can look forward to beautifully decorated floats, cheerful performers, costumed characters and holiday music as the parade makes its way through the streets of Maple.
Gather along the route to enjoy the excitement and watch for the grand finale featuring the guest of honour, Santa Claus himself! It’s a wonderful opportunity for families and neighbours to come together and welcome the holiday season.
The parade begins at 1:30 pm at Springside Road and Melville Avenue, travelling north along Melville Avenue before turning east onto Major Mackenzie Drive and finishing at Vaughan City Hall.
Bundle up, bring the whole family and arrive early to find a great viewing spot for this favourite Vaughan holiday tradition!
Admission is free.
