Welcome Santa Parade & Tree Lighting

Kick off the holiday season with magic and cheer as Santa Claus makes his grand entrance in a horse-drawn carriage during Danville’s annual Welcome Santa Parade!

Santa will be in his cottage for 1 hour following the parade!

The celebration begins at 6 PM at the river end of Mill Street, where the Danville High School Marching Band, the Komotion Dancers and our local fire departments will lead the way with music, lights, and festive spirit.

Follow the parade all the way down Mill Street to Route 11, then gather in Canal Park as Santa lights the town tree and officially opens his cottage for the season.
