The Santa Claus Parade of Lights returns to downtown Oshawa on Saturday, Nov. 21, with 65 floats travelling along King Street West, including dance groups and non-profit groups, and an appearance from Santa Claus himself.

The parade starts at 6:30 p.m. at King Street and Gibbons Street, travels east along King Street and finishes at Division Street at about 8:30 p.m., Oshawa This Week reports.

King Street will be closed from Stevenson Road North to Ritson Road North from 3 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with no access through King Street from any intersection between Stevenson and Ritson during that time, according to a City of Oshawa closure map.

All float spots are sold out, and Oshawa Tourism is still seeking marching bands for the parade. Inquiries can be sent to info@oshawatourism.
