Wawa's Santa Claus Parade Arrives as Festival of Lights Nears End

With Christmas a week away, Wawa residents are being encouraged to celebrate the holidays, as Santa's back in town.

Municipal Recreation Coordinator Stacey White explains that - after two years of "stationary parades" - tonight's Santa Claus Parade is a return to tradition.

Once the parade arrives at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre, there'll be some festivities, with Hot Chocolate with Mayor and Council.

White also suggests - after watching the parade - checking out participants in Wawa's annual Festival of Lights, since it wraps up this weekend.

The Santa Claus Parade starts at 6 pm tonight, with the Festival of Lights, running from 6 pm to 9 pm every night up to - and including - this Sunday, December 18th.
