Kingsville holding Santa Claus Parade Nov. 20 KINGSVILLE — The Town of Kingsville and Fantasy of Lights Committee has announced that this year’s Santa Claus parade will take place in downtown Kingsville on Saturday, November 20. The announcement came on the heels of Windsor Parade Corporation’s weekend announcement that they were not putting on a parade this year. “As the Chair of the Kingsville Fantasy of Lights Committee, I was disheartened to learn about the decision of the Windsor Parade Corporation on social media,” said Councillor Tony Gaffan.
“However, I believe the strength of the Kingsville community as a whole is far stronger. As a community, we will unite to create a parade experience that is distinctly us and uniquely Kingsville.” The theme this year is “What Does Christmas Mean to Me”. The town is asking children of all ages to hold the date of November 20. The town is asking for volunteers, families, service groups, and
businesses to consider how they can contribute to the parade. A participant’s form can be found on the town website at Kingsville.ca. “As a close-knit community, we are all excited to celebrate the traditions that the Fantasy of Lights has brought to Kingsville. I want to acknowledge the commitment and dedication of the Festival Committee, volunteers and staff throughout the year to help keep the lights shining,” said Mayor Nelson Santos. “We look forward to seeing Santa join our community parade and help us flick the switch on November 20th.” If you have any questions or want to be involved, you can email specialevents@kingsville.ca.
