Event Details:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
The 2020 modified Santa Claus Parade will be a drive-by experience, allowing you to enjoy a colouful display of community floats and live music safely from your vehicle on November 28 between 12:00pm and 2:00pm.
This reverse-parade format will see Santa and all participating floats remaining stationary along the road, while spectator vehicles parade past.
The parade will be setup on the LTWMF Access Road. All spectator vehicles must line up along Baulch Road to access the parade route. View the spectator traffic flow map for the drive-by Port Hope Santa Claus Parade.
This year’s parade will exhibit Port Hope's exceptional resiliency and community spirit. Spectators are invited to bring along letters to Santa (collected by Canada Post), non-perishable food items (collected by Northumberland Fareshare) and new, unwrapped toys (collected by the Port Hope Firefighters Association) at the start of the parade.
Notes for drivers:
- Spectators must approach the LTWMF Access Road via Baulch Road.
- Spectator vehicles will be prohibited from lining up along Marsh Road (facing west). All spectator vehicles must cue up along Marsh (facing east) via Deer Park, or along Baulch Road (facing north) via Lakeshore.
- Plan your route by reviewing the spectator traffic flow map in advance.
- Once at the start of the parade, travel along the LTWMF Access Road at approximately 5km for a safe viewing of the stationary floats.
- Please stay in your vehicle and no stopping along the route (unless there is a backup) to ensure a steady flow for all spectators.
- Spectators are encouraged to pack supplies (snacks, water and Christmas music!) to help make the waiting experience a little more enjoyable.
- While in the spectator cue, keep watch for security vehicles with signs in their back windshield indicating END OF PARADE. This will signify the cut off for all spectators. Santa is a busy man.
We appreciate your patience and participation in this seasonal celebration of community. Stay safe!
