Join us on Saturday, November 29th for the return of fantastic floats, bands, marchers, and of course, Santa! We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
Since 1955, the Cobourg Santa Claus Parade has kicked off the Christmas season thanks to the Lions Club of Cobourg. This group of volunteers has worked tirelessly over the years bring a parade to the community that brings people together, regardless of their background, celebrating hope, family and love. It’s part of the fabric of our community. In 2020, the Town of Cobourg assumed responsibility for the parade under the guidance of the Lions Club of Cobourg to ensure the community can experience the same magic of the season.
From 4 – 5 pm, don’t miss the Pre-Parade Fun Zone in front of Victoria Hall with winter inflatables, sweet treats and Sparky from the Cobourg Fire Department.
