*UPDATE: PARADE CANCELED *Moncton Santa Claus Parade 2024 happens Saturday (Nov 23)
NOTE FROM SANTA CLAUS PARADE COMMITTEE:
'Cancellation Notice: Royale Greater Moncton Santa Claus Parade
It is with heavy hearts that the organizing committee of the Royale Greater Moncton Parade have come to the difficult decisions to cancel this year’s parade. Due to the expected heavy amounts of rain and high winds that are forecasted for tomorrow Saturday, November 23rd, the majority of the float entries have withdrawn from the parade. From participants to organizers, the primary concern is the safety of all participants, spectators, sponsors and volunteers, this decision was not made lightly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. There will not be an alternate date for the parade this year.
Avis d’annulation du défilé Royale du père Noël du Grand Moncton
C’est avec le cœur lourd que le comité organisateur du défilé Royale du père Noël du Grand Moncton a décidé d’annuler le défilé de cette année. En raison de la pluie abondante et des vents violents prévus pour demain, le samedi 23 novembre, la majorité des chars allégoriques se sont retirés du défilé. Pour les participants comme pour les organisateurs, la première préoccupation est la sécurité de tous les participants, les spectateurs, les commanditaires et les bénévoles. Cette décision n’a pas été prise à la légère. Nous regrettons tout inconvénient occasionné par cette situation. Le défilé ne se tiendra pas à une autre date pour cette année.'

Morgan Wallen and Shaboozey have been locked in a battle on the Billboard charts.
- Shaboozey's "Tipsy" was a huge song on Country Radio, it went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

- then this week something happened and Shaboozey went to number one again, and that broke a record.
- Because Shaboozey got back to 1 on the Hot 100, that makes 16 weeks at Number 1.

Q: Who would win in a wrestling match between Shaboozey and Morgan Wallen?
A: We, the audience, would win in this scenario*
