Tips & Advice

  • Get to the parade route a little early to claim a front-row spot along the nearly 2 km of sidewalk on both sides of the street.
  • Stay put once the parade passes, because the fireworks start over the gorge by the falls right after Santa crosses the bridge and heads up the street.
  • Stop by the letter-writing station at the Fenelon Falls library during the downtown activities so the kids can write their letters to Santa on the spot.
  • Pick up the 2026 brochure and activity map when it comes out in November, so you can plan your way around the downtown activities.
  • Dress warmly if you're staying for the evening parade and fireworks, since you'll be standing outdoors along the route on a late-November night.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Santa Day is advertised as a full day of free family fun, made possible by local supporters and volunteers.
