Celebrate the holiday season with one of BWG’s highly anticipated events – The Santa Claus Parade! Watch the magic of the holiday season unfold before your eyes on Saturday, November 18, 2023, as local community groups and businesses light up BWG with twinkling floats, music, and entertainment.
Residents, and their families and friends, are invited to gather along Holland Street starting at 6:30 pm. The parade route begins at Bradford District High School (70 Professor Day Drive), travelling east on Holland Street, turning south on Simcoe Road, and ending at the Bradford and District Memorial Community Centre (125 Simcoe Road).
Letters to Santa will be collected by volunteers at the beginning of the parade. Please address letters to Santa, c/o the North Pole, HOH OHO.
It’s not too late to join the parade! Applications for parade entries are being accepted until November 1st. Apply online at www.townofbwg.com/SantaClausParade. Volunteers are also needed to assist with parade marshalling. Anyone interested in participating in this event are invited to visit www.townofbwg.com/volunteer for more information.
We are also thrilled to introduce parade floats awards this year! BWG Council will award prizes for The Mayor’s Trophy (best overall), Best Commercial/Business Float, and Best Non-Profit Float. Floats will be judged on effort, quality, appearance, and originality.
This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors including, Bayview-Wellington Homes (Bradford East Developments), Great Gulf, Osborne Goddard Team, DG Group, and South Simcoe Freight.
