[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″] The West End Christmas Miracle is bringing to you our fourth annual Santa Claus parade! Join us to catch a glimpse of Santa and Mrs. Claus from the comfort of your own front yard! Santa and his team of elves will be parading the streets of the West End on December 10th and 11th, starting at 4pm each night. The route approximately takes 3 to 4 hours each day.
Find the most recent up to date information from our helper, Santa Tracker Elf Facebook Page and the West End Christmas Miracle Facebook group.
***Parade route map now available!***
Here is the route for 2023!
[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″] We have indicated special and safe “Lookout Points” where Santa and Mrs. Claus plan to slow down to say “Hi” to those families who wish to join us from outside of the parade route. These will be the best locations watch for families inside the parade route.
Note: Due to time constraints, the elves will need to limit personal photos.
Please know that every possible effort has been made to include as many families as possible. The parade is brought to you by a small group of volunteers who only wish to bring happiness and good cheer to the West End.
For the safety of yourselves, the Elves, Santa and Mrs. Claus, please be considerate of the float and keep the road clear as it approaches.[spacer height=”10px” id=”2″]
