Chatham Santa Claus Parade
Fri Nov 14, 2025, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Location: 87 Sanys St Chatham
We are planning to put a team float in the Chatham Santa Claus Parade again! Come out and have your players on the float and spread some energetic Christmas cheer! We could use parent volunteers as well! Please arrive by 5:30 as the parade starts at 6pm sharp!
STAGING INFORMATION Sandy St, Chatham ON (between McNaughton and Grand Ave)
-Please enter from McNaughton Ave any time after 4pm (Parade leaves at 6:00pm sharp)
-Your line-up number/placement will be given to you at the entrance at that time
-You can go to your spot and wander over to the Evangel Church who will have their doors open for washrooms
- Large groups dropping off children should enter the back of the church parking lot (from Poplar) and arrange to meet there.
-Parade ends at the WISH Centre from there you can go in and meet Santa, or exit. Please don’t delay in front of the WISH Centre as this is very congested.
RULES
-No throwing candy
-Please limit handouts; our volunteers do hours worth of clean up the day after the parade, and unfortunately many handouts that aren't candy, get thrown on the road
-Go slow and be safe! But do your best to try to keep gaps between floats minimal
These are the main rules that come up the most... for a full list, please review the application, section 3 of 5 "Rules and Regulations"
Unfortunate news... there will no longer be a contest for best float.
But don't let that hold you back from going all out! Unfortunately, we did not meet the sponsorship that we required to move forward with this. We truly hope to make this happen next year!
