It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon for the 54th annual Knights of Pythias Santa Claus Parade in Wallaceburg on Saturday, November 18, 2023.
Through the courtesy of the Knights of Pythias and many volunteers, the event was a happy success.
The theme this year was ‘The True Meaning of Christmas’ and this was evident with every float and all those who participated.
The children’s excitement and smiles and the gathered families were the evidence.
Everyone gathered happily as each float came down Dufferin Avenue and through downtown on James Street.
Here is a list of this year’s participants:
