Palmerstons evening parade a local Christmas tradition

Santa Claus is coming to Palmerston on Dec. 1.

Palmerston firefighters will host the community’s 36th annual Santa Claus Parade and an evening of activities, beginning at 7pm.

The parade line-up will begin at the Ashland lot beside the fire hall at 6pm. The parade will begin at 7pm, travelling west on King Street, then north on Lowe Street to Main Street, east on Main to Brunswick and end at the Frank Lambier Legion. After the parade, local youngsters can meet with Santa at the Legion and enjoy candies and chocolate milk.

Palmerston Kinettes will be collecting non-perishable food items along the parade route for the local food bank.

Plaques and cash prizes will be awarded at the Legion at 9pm for best commercial and best non-commercial floats, as well as best overall float and best walking entry.

Donations toward the parade may be given through any Palmerston firefighter and anyone with questions about the parade is invited to contact Pete Henderson at 519-343-2907 or Don Harrow at 519-343-3488.
