The Pakenham Santa Claus Parade will proceed as planned! The forecast is calling for rainy and windy conditions, so please dress accordingly.

Festivities get underway at 1:00 PM and this year’s theme is Christmas Movies. The Pakenham & District Civitan Club will be collecting donations for The Hunger Stop – Lanark County Food Bank en route. Floats will assemble at the Stewart Community Centre on MacFarlane Street and make their way through the downtown core – twice! The Pakenham & District Civitan Club will also be providing hot chocolate and hot dogs!

There is no pre-registration or charge to enter floats; anyone interested in entering a float should arrive an hour prior to the start to sign in. Free public skating will also follow the parade at the Stewart Community Centre.
