2025 Santa Claus Parade & Tree Lighting

The Township of Douro-Dummer will host its annual Santa Claus Parade in the Village of Warsaw on Saturday, November 29, 2025.

This year the theme is “Home for the Holidays”. 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, where Santa Claus will park his sleigh.

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!

Donations of canned goods and non-perishable food items are welcome and will be donated to local food banks. 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 Elementary School and Warsaw Public School to support their breakfast programs.

If your family, team or business would like to enter a float in the parade, please complete the registration form online at the link below or in-person at the Township Office (894 South Street, Warsaw).
