Bundle up and get ready for one of Mississauga’s most magical holiday traditions! The Mississauga Santa Claus Parade returns to City Centre with dazzling illuminated floats, festive performers, marching bands playing your favourite holiday tunes, and of course, Santa Claus himself.

This year’s theme, “Sauga’s Home for the Holidays!”, celebrates the special traditions, cultures, and festive moments that bring our community together throughout the season. Watch as Santa’s sleigh makes its way through Celebration Square for the much-anticipated Christmas tree lighting, officially kicking off the holidays in Mississauga.

Make a day of it and arrive early to enjoy holiday fun starting at 4:00 p.m. at Celebration Square, including a DJ Skate Party on the outdoor rink (weather permitting), festive food trucks, and photos with Santa and his merry friends. When Santa heads off to lead the parade at 6:00 p.m., the Gingerbread Man and Frosty stick around to keep the festive cheer going until 8:00 p.m .
