The Milton Santa Claus Parade is set to return this Sunday, kicking off at 1:30 p.m. The beloved annual tradition will make its way along Main Street from Whitmer Street to the GO station.
Here are four things to know about this year’s event:
A Cloud Over the Celebration: This year’s parade has stirred some controversy due to its sponsorship from CN Rail. Both the town and the advocacy group Milton Says No have voiced concerns, as they oppose the proposed CN Logistics Hub in Milton. While both the mayor and Milton Says No expressed disappointment in the sponsorship, neither plans to protest on the day of the parade.
Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future: The theme this year is “Christmas Through the Decades,” inviting attendees to dress in the style of their favorite decade to celebrate holiday traditions across the years.
A Storied Past: The Milton Santa Claus Parade dates back to 1907 when a local merchant first brought Santa to town, creating a tradition that grew into a full parade by 1933.
Bring Your Letters to Santa: Canada Post will be on hand to collect letters to Santa along the parade route. Be sure to include a return address, and address letters to Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada, to make sure they reach the North Pole in time!
