Elliot Lake 41st Annual Santa Claus Parade

The City of Elliot Lake held a Static Santa Claus Parade on Friday, November 27th, from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm.

We did things a little differently this year with a STATIC display of floats, storefronts, and residences throughout the City.

What is a Static Santa Claus Parade?

Instead of a regular parade, residents will be able to drive through the streets of Elliot Lake and enjoy the parade from the warmth and comfort of their vehicles.
It will be a drive by event with no pedestrian traffic at the locations to prevent large gatherings or possible accidents.
