Santa Claus arrived in fine style on November 18/23 thanks to the efforts of the Georgetown Lions Club and over 120 community volunteers.

Spectators  gathered 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.

We invite you to register for the parade, as a family, group of friends or an organization no experience is necessary. 

Registration Form Will be Available in Septemeber 2024

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
