Santa Claus Parades in Sarnia & Lambton County

Every Santa Claus parade we could confirm, town by town: who runs it, where it goes and when it usually happens.

No 2026 date is confirmed yet. We add each one once the organiser has posted it and a second source agrees. Until then, each parade links to the page to watch.
