PARADE ROUTE: At 12pm, the parade will begin at West Georgia Street and Broughton, travel east along West Georgia, turn south on Howe and finish at Howe and Davie.
TELUS is thrilled to entertain over 300,000 spectators with an all-star assembly featuring marching bands, dance troupes, festive floats, and community groups. The morning begins with Breakfast with Santa at the Fairmont Vancouver, and we encourage all spectators to visit the Christmas Square located directly in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Open from 10am-12pm, the Christmas Square includes face painting, a letters-to-Santa station, carnival games, Purdys chocolate, and an entertainment stage featuring live music by Marie Hui’s Vancouver-based project, LeftCoast. As always, don’t forget to bring your donations for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank and CKNW Orphans’ Fund.
Following the parade’s conclusion, Santa will make his way over to the TELUS Garden for a fun photo-op. Free to the public, you can catch Santa anytime between 2-4pm!
In anticipation of the big day, TELUS have teamed up for a food drive with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. From November 13-December 31st, for every non-perishable food item you bring to your local TELUS store, they’ll donate $1 per item towards the drive.
