Santa Claus arrved in fine style on November 16/24 thanks to the efforts of the Georgetown Lions Club and over 120 community volunteers.
Spectators gatherered along the 3.5km route and enjoyed the many floats, marchers, bands and of course Santa Claus.
The Georgetown Lions Club Parade started in 1932 and has been a continuous event since that time.
The Lions Club encourage you to think of others at this time of year and ask that you make a donation of food or cash to the Georgetown Bread Basket Food Bank.
While the Town of Halton Hills provides assistance with the event the Lions are fully responsible for the oganization and costs of operating the parade.
Route
The parade will form up on Sinclair Ave. and proceed west on Guelph Street to Mill St. It will follow Mill St. through historic Downtown Gerogetown, then turning left on Charles St. to the Georgetown Fairgrounds Park where the parade will disband.
Registration Form for 2025 will be available in September
Sponsorship
Like all community events the Lions Club relies on civic minded businesses for their support, In 2017 we introduced a new category of sponsorship called Community Champions and with their support the Club was able to operate the event. As part of their sponsorship the company names were placed on the Lions Events Trailer
Volunteers
Each year we ask the community for help in running this event. The volunteers undertake a variety of tasks, we can gurantee the best view of the parade. Thank you to all our valued volunteers.
