Fredericton Santa Claus Parade 2026

Have a Holly Dolly Christmas!

The Kin Club of Nashwaaksis is pleased to invite the community to the 2026 Fredericton Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.

This year’s theme is “Have a Holly Dolly Christmas!”, celebrating Dolly Parton and her generosity in helping communities over the years. We invite local businesses, community groups, schools, bands, and organizations to join us with festive floats, creative displays, and holiday spirit. All entries must be tastefully decorated and family-friendly.

The parade will take place on Fredericton’s northside.

Entries will assemble on Devonshire Drive. The parade will depart at 5:00 p.m., turning left onto Union Street and travelling west toward Main Street before continuing along Main Street to Johnston Avenue.

At the end of the route, smaller vehicles will turn left onto Johnston Avenue to park and unload. Larger vehicles will enter the St. John the Evangelist Church parking lot to disembark.

Participants must not disembark on Main Street.

All floats must enter Devonshire Drive at the corner of Devonshire Drive and Main Street, across from the Esso station, and follow directions from Kin Club personnel. Participants will receive their assigned arrival time in advance.

Please consult the route map and full instructions in the official application package before parade day.
