Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

October 28, 2024

Greetings,

The Town of Deseronto is gearing up for the Christmas season and we would be pleased, if you are able to be a part of our festivities.  We have scheduled the Santa Claus parade for the 30th of November starting at 5:30 pm

The parade will assemble on Water Street and head north on Mill Street to Main Street.  The parade will then head west on Main Street to Green Street, north on Green Street to Thomas Street, east on Thomas Street to Fourth Street, south on Fourth Street to Main Street and finally west on Main Street back to Mill Street.

We are in the process of trying to re-connect with those who have entered floats or walked the parade route in the past and also encourage new participants to join us.  If you are able to enter a float, truck, or even want to walk along, please contact us and we will gladly add you to our list; the more the merrier!  I have enclosed a registration form for your convenience.  If you have any questions, please contact myself at 613-396-2440 or e-mail me at gmaracle@deseronto.ca. We are also able to give community hours for any high school students who are able to help us.

After the parade at 6:30 pm, please join us in Rathbun Park for the lighting of our Christmas tree.  Hot chocolate and cookies will be served compliments of the Deseronto Public Library.

Hope to see you on the 30th of November!

Sincerely, 

Gail Maracle
