Santa Claus Parade

Santa Claus Parade — Saturday, November 21, 2026 | 6 p.m. | Downtown Woodstock

Join us as we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year! The Santa Claus Parade kicks off at 6 p.m. and features holiday-themed floats, marching bands, inflatables, and an appearance from Mr. and Mrs. Claus themselves. This year’s theme is Home for the Holidays: 125 Years of Woodstock , marking a special milestone for the city.

The parade departs from the Woodstock Fairgrounds and travels along Dundas Street before turning onto Light Street, ending at Victoria Park. Museum Square is a great spot to take in the festivities along the route.

While you’re there, please consider bringing a non-perishable food item. Volunteers will be collecting donations along the parade route to support the community.

Want to be part of the parade? Bands, Shriners, floats, and walking groups are all welcome to apply, with entries due by Sunday, November 8 at 11:59 p.m. Volunteers are also needed to help make the event run smoothly and it’s a great way to give back, meet new people, and be part of a Woodstock tradition attracting thousands each year.
