Vancouver Santa Claus Parade

When: Sunday, December 3, 2017 12:00pm
Parade Route: At 12:00pm, the parade will begin at W Georgia St and Broughton, travel east along W Georgia, turn south on Howe and finish at Howe and Davie.

This year’s Vancouver Santa Claus Parade will feature marching bands, dance troupes, festive floats and community groups, which entertain over 300,000 spectators.

A very special part of the TELUS presents the Vancouver Santa Claus Parade is celebrating the “Spirit of Giving.” Each year, on parade day, volunteers collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For every $1 donated, the Food Bank can purchase $3 worth of food!

The parade also has a new partnership with the CKNW Orphans’ Fund. If just 200 people donate $10 each, the CKNW Orphans’ Fund can send a child with special needs to speech therapy, tutoring, or even ensure they have custom hearing aids.
