Santa Claus Parade

The Kamloops Santa Claus Parade brings crowds downtown every November with a full lineup of floats, music, and marching performers. Now in its 44th year, the event sticks to a rotating theme—in 2024 it’s “Holiday Movie Magic”—with more than 60 entries inspired by classic films. It starts with the “Wake Up Santa” pre-show near 4th and St. Paul before the parade rolls down Victoria Street. The whole thing is streamed online for those watching from home.
