Santa's Durham Region Parade and Appearance Schedule
Santa is one busy guy, he's making stops in Pickering, Oshawa, Ajax, Brooklin, Uxbridge, Port Perry and Bowmanville. We've listed the Christmas highlights but for details visit our Durham Region Events Calendar.
The
weather has a definite nip to the air, and the Christmas songs have
just started to play, so it’s definitely time to check out what’s going
on in Durham over the holidays. As we get more into winter, and closer to the holidays, Parentsource.ca will continue to update this list with our best finds.
At the top of the list for most families are the great Santa Claus parades and Christmas fairs that are help in each part of Durham Region. If you’re kids are anything like mine, they could easily go to every parade and still not be tired of the music and the ‘big guy’.
While all of the Chrismas events can be found in our Events calendar, here are the highlights.
