After the pandemic left him and his reindeer parked at the North Pole, Santa Claus is back in Kamloops this year. The 41st Annual Santa Parade in downtown Kamloops will take place on Sunday, November 28. This year’s theme is the “Luminous Loops" and parade participants are encouraged to get creative with lighting and dazzle spectators as the afternoon light fades. Wake Up Santa starts at 4:10 p.m. and the parade begins at 4:30 p.m. at 2nd Ave & St. Paul Street. It will travel from 2nd Avenue to Victoria Street and along Victoria Street then end at 6th Avenue. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association encourages attendees to wear masks, stand with a family group and maintain social distancing. Enjoy!
