Tips & Advice

  • Dress the kids as tomtar at home before you come, because children who arrive in costume join at a lower rate than the regular child entry.
  • Adults can come in regular clothes, since the adult entry includes a Santa costume and more costumes can also be bought on site.
  • Bring the children along to walk, because every child who takes part is guaranteed a prize once the parade is over.
  • Gather at Stora torget before the start, since that's where the parade sets off through Västervik city.
  • Dress warmly under your Santa suit, because the parade is an outdoor walk through central Västervik in mid-December.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The 2026 parade is its tenth edition.
  • The 2026 collection benefits Rotary projects including Support for Ukraine, Vändela, Vuxna på stan i Västervik, and the Västervik Red Cross.
