TIMMINS - Santa Claus is back in town this weekend!
The jolly old man and all his helpers will be winding their way through the downtown core to kick off the festive season on Saturday.
Here's what you need to know about the event.
The basics
The parade starts Saturday, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m., and this year's theme is Musical Notes and Holiday Floats. More than 60 floats are registered!
Route
The action starts near the Timmins Police Station on Spruce Street and heads north to Algonquin. From there it heads west for a block then goes south on Pine Street to Third Avenue. The floats tour through downtown on Third to Mountjoy Street. The end of route is at Caisse Populaire.
Parking
There is no on-street parking along the parade route starting at 4 p.m. on parade day. Parking is not allowed at all that day in the marshalling area near the police station, and near the library on 2nd Avenue. Parking is free in all other city lots and on all the other streets.
What to bring
Donations for the Timmins Food Bank and Socks Timmins will be collected along the route. If you already have a Christmas list, look for the Santal's little elves who are picking up letters to Santa.
