Mark your calendars! The first Sunday in December is the official date of the 13th annual Rogers Santa Claus Parade - December 4th, 2016. The parade is the largest Christmas parade celebrated in Western Canada. In the spirit of giving, the free, family-fun event is also one of the largest food and fundraising events for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. It’s the perfect kick off to the holiday season!

PARADE ROUTE:
At 12pm, the parade will begin at West Georgia Street and Broughton, travel east along West Georgia, turn south on Howe and finish at Howe and Smithe.

THE PARADE:
This year’s Rogers Santa Claus Parade will feature marching bands, dance troupes, festive floats and community groups, which entertain over 300,000 spectators.

A very special part of the Rogers Santa Claus Parade is celebrating the
“Spirit of Giving.” Each year, on parade day, volunteers collect non-perishable food items and monetary donations on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For every $1 donated, the Food Bank can purchase $3 worth of food – so remember those loonies on Parade Day!

Coast Capital Savings Christmas Square (10:00AM – 12:00PM)
Parade spectators are encouraged to arrive early for pre-parade fun. The free festivities begin at 10:00 a.m. with two hours of family entertainment at the new Coast Capital Savings Christmas Square on 800 Block Robson St. (South side of the Vancouver Art Gallery). The Christmas Square includes a Food Bank drop off, gingerbread decorating station, face painting, letters to Santa station, and an entertainment stage featuring exciting music and dancing performances. (10:00 am-12:00pm)
