Warsaw Santa Claus Parade The Township of Douro-Dummer will host its annual Santa Claus Parade in the Village of Warsaw on Saturday, November 26, 2022 after a 2-year hiatus. This year the theme is “Together Again”. The parade will depart from the Warsaw Public Works Depot (1402 County Road 4) at 5:00 p.m., and travel south to the Township Office, go right on Ford Street, right on Peterborough Street, right on Mill Street and left to return to the Public Works Depot. Following the parade, please join us at Millennium Park beside the Township Office (894 South Street) for hot chocolate, cookies, Christmas music, the tree lighting ceremony, and a visit with Santa. Residents in the village are encouraged to have their Christmas lights up in an effort to light up the night together! Once again, donations of mitts, scarves or toques are welcome and if you knit or crochet we are also accepting small lap blankets which will be donated to seniors to provide warmth and comfort. Please put any donations in plastic bags. Donations can be dropped off at the Township Office or brought to the tree lighting ceremony after the parade. Tickets to win a Gingerbread House can be purchased for $2 each or 3 for $5 and proceeds will be split between St. Joseph Catholic School and Warsaw Public School to support their breakfast programs.
