Everyone Loves a Parade
On the last Saturday of every November, the
City of Thorold, deep in the heart of the
Region of Niagara, echoes with
the cheerful sounds of the annual Thorold Santa Claus Parade. Founded in 1991 by
volunteers, the Thorold Santa Claus Parade has delighted and entertained the citizens
of Thorold and surrounding areas with its display of bands, floats, marching units,
and - of course - Jolly St. Nick himself ever since.
A Little Christmas Sharing
As usual, entertainment is not the only the only benefit of the
Thorold Santa Claus Parade. It is an opportunity to display examples of community
helping community by organizations such as the Walker Brothers Quarry,
who are collecting new toys this year.
Foodland and the
Thorold Community Activities Group
who collect and non-perishable food. The Girl Guides will pick up clothing, mittens, scarves, hats, etc.
Without their help, some might have to go without this Christmas. And don't forget to bring your letters for Santa!
Come On And Join In!
Everyone is welcome to join in the Thorold Santa Claus
Parade. Just fill out and send in an application form which you'll find on the page entitled
"Entry Form". If you do not know where to start in building a float, the Thorold Public Library
has copies of our float-building seminar to show you just how simple it can be. All we ask is that
you have some kind of Christmas season theme.
