Parade is a fun-filled day for the whole family This Saturday, Santa Claus will wind his way through the streets of Oakville for the 64th time. He and sweetheart Mrs. Claus, the Santa Claus Parade's Grand Marshall, will officially welcome the Christmas season along with thousands of people lining the Parade route in Downtown Oakville and Kerr Village. The Parade's theme, 'Once Upon A Christmas,' promises to deliver one of the best parades ever seen in Town, with 50 uniquely decorated floats, costumed charcters and a full lineup of marching bands paving the way for Santa's eventual arrival. This year's Parade starts promptly at 9 a.m. -- rain or shine. It will begin at Lakeshore Rd. and Reynolds, go west on Lakeshore to Kerr St. and continue north on Kerr, ending at the corner of Kerr and Stewart St. Just before 9 a.m., look up in the sky for Santa's planes in Christmas tree formation, direct from the North Pole. Joining Mrs. Claus in the Cinderella carriage as Honourary Grand Marshall is 10 year old colouring contest winner Fiona Allen. Her drawing was selected out of over 100 entries that were submitted.
