The North Bay Santa Claus Parade is held annually on a Sunday afternoon in November.
The parade begins at Boart Longyear Memorial Gardens and ends at the intersections of Main Street West and Cassells Street.
It draws hundreds of spectators and typically features nearly four dozen entries, including Canada Post collecting letters to Santa, the North Bay Food Bank accepting non-perishable donations, and, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus spreading Christmas cheer.
