The traditional-style parade has been canceled once again but Santa Claus is still coming to town!
Santa will be arriving in Winnipeg on November 20 and will be sitting on his beautiful float for the public to see. It will be set up as a walk-past display behind the Goldeyes Stadium, Shaw Park.
An online pre-registration system will be set up on the website to reserve a spot to see Santa between 5 pm-8 pm. Registration will open on November 8 at 12 pm.
To ensure everyone's safety and abide by Manitoba Health public event orders, all kids must be accompanied by an adult, and anyone aged 12 and over will be required to show that they are fully vaccinated; masks will also be required.
Organizers also invite you to visit their Family Activities presented by Wawanesa, which will keep the spirit of the season alive … and more new activities will be available on November 20th!
