History

The Greater Moncton Santa Claus Parade was established by a group of like-minded volunteers from the community in 1967 who wished to establish a Santa Claus Parade for Greater Moncton. Over the years the parade has continued to grow. Each November the parade welcomes thousands of happy spectators who line the streets of downtown Moncton and Dieppe to watch the parade with family and friends.

The parade features up to 80 entries each year and has become the largest parade in Atlantic Canada. Although the parade has continued to evolve and expand over the years it is still organized by a committee of volunteers and relies on sponsorship donations from local businesses, individuals, and municipalities.
