Christmas Tree Lighting & Santa Claus Parades

Fall in Canada begins the switch to winter whites and backgrounds of festive colours during Canada's Festivals of Lights.

Kids look forward to the Canadian tradition of Santa Claus Parades & fun Christmas shopping with a sit on Santa's knee. Over 300,000 Christmas lights will light up Canada’s Capital from December 2, 2010 to January 7, 2011.  Links to Christmas Santa Parade dates, routes, festivals of lights, and Santa news updates
