This December, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is excited to host Santa Around the Town once again! Santa Around the Town, an alternative to the traditional Christmas parade, brings Jolly Old Saint Nicholas through all five Niagara-on-the-Lake communities on a festive float. It provides residents with an opportunity to wave and shout a Merry Christmas to everyone's favourite man in red, Santa!
"Although the Christmas parade has been put on hold again this year, the Town is excited to welcome Santa back to Niagara-on-the-Lake for Santa Around the Town," stated Lord Mayor Betty Disero. "This event was well-loved and well-received last year and is such a great way to spread holiday joy among our wonderful community."
"Remaining diligent and mindful of COVID-19 restrictions and Public Health recommendations, Town Staff and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Christmas Committee agree that Santa Around the Town is a great alternative to our traditional and beloved Santa Parade," stated Marnie Cluckie, Chief Administrative Officer. "While we certainly look forward to bringing the Town's Christmas parade back in 2022, this alternative event is a great way to ensure the health and safety of our community is protected while still getting residents in the holiday spirit!”
The Town will release more information about Santa Around the Town, including a map of Santa’s journey, closer to December. Stay tuned!
