Tips & Advice

  • Come early to enjoy the family-friendly fan zone activities in the afternoon, then find your spot before the parade, which kicks off right on time.
  • Watch from near the corner of Richmond and Sandwich Street if you want to hear the live commentary from the broadcast location.
  • Look over the route and street closures map before heading downtown so you know where to watch and which roads will be closed.
  • Dress warmly, because you'll spend the afternoon and evening outdoors in downtown Amherstburg in late November.
  • Groups who want to join in should send in a float or band and entertainment application, then pay for it online.
