🎅 parade starts at Main St and Cameron, goes down Main Street, and ends at the corner of Champlain and Paul Street.
🎅 from organizers: "The
parade begins at 5:00 p.m. at the corner of Cameron and Main Street in
Moncton and ends at the corner of Champlain and Paul Street in Dieppe.
If you gather before Cameron Street or past the corner of Paul Street,
you WILL NOT get to see Santa Claus."
🎅 This Year's Theme is A Bob Hope Christmas! No wait, that doesn't seem right. This year’s theme is The World Celebrates the Season!
🎅 The parade Facebook says you can bring non-perishable food donations to the parade. *Update: from the Times Transcript: The parade will be led by folks from the RCMP, (so you can definitely still bring a food donation!) 😀
🎅 Canada Post volunteers will walk the route collecting letters for Santa! You don't need a stamp on your letter, but put your return address on the envelope. Santa's address is "Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0"
