The St. Thomas Optimist Santa Claus Parade returns to the Railway City on Saturday night (November 16). This year’s parade will follow the traditional route down west down Talbot Street from First Ave to Elgin Street. This year’s parade theme is “Superhero Christmas” that the 55 entries will be following.
Parade Chair Bob Jackson says that they want to get the residents into the Christmas spirit.
Jackson says that the parade begins at 6 p.m. with the floats beginning to gather at 3 p.m. The St. Thomas Fire Department will be collecting non perishable food donations for Christmas Care during the parade and Canada Post will also be collecting letters to Santa.
Before you head down to the parade tomorrow night be sure to tune into myFM for our official parade pre-show from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. We’ll have wall to wall Christmas music and reports from parade central.
