Santa Claus Parade Committee

Please note our 2020 Parade was cancelled due to Covid-19. As a result of the cancellation Committee Members pulled together Parades of the Past. Visit our Youtube Page to view. 

The Santa Claus Parade Committee in the Township of Douro-Dummer plans and organizes an annual Santa Claus Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony for the residents of Douro-Dummer. The parade takes place every year on last Saturday of November in the Hamlet of Warsaw. The parade starts at 5:00 p.m. at the Warsaw Public Works garage, travelling through the hamlet of Warsaw. Following the parade, a tree lighting ceremony takes place at Millenium Park beside the Municipal Office, visits with Santa, cookies, hot chocolate and carols!
