Belleville Santa Claus Parade

Mark your calendars – the Belleville Santa Claus Parade is back on Sunday, Nov. 16! The parade will begin at Bridge Street West and Sidney Street at 4:30 p.m. and travel down Bridge Street through downtown Belleville before ending at the corner of Herchimer Avenue at approximately 7 p.m.

Rolling road closures will be in place on Bridge Street beginning at 2:30 p.m. on the day, starting between McDonald Avenue and Singleton and moving east with the parade.

Join us before the parade at Glanmore National Historic Site for pre-parade festivities including free admission from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Visitors can explore the historic house with its seasonal exhibitions and even make a simple ornament to take home.

Rotary’s Reindeer Village will also once again be set up in Robin Jeffrey Park, complete with both light-up and live reindeer and free hot chocolate while supplies last.

Don’t forget your letters for Santa and donations for Gleaners and the Firefighters Toy Drive!

Applications to participate in this year’s parade are now open. Businesses, groups and organizations are invited to complete the online application form before Nov. 2. For more information, visit: Belleville.ca/SantaClausParade
