SUMMARY:Peninsula Co-op Santa Claus Parade
DESCRIPTION:The Peninsula Co-op Santa Claus Parade lights up the seaside 
 town of Sidney to open the holiday season on the Saanich Peninsula. Organ
 ized by the Greater Victoria Festival Society\, the 43rd annual parade ro
 lls through Sidney on Saturday\, November 28\, 2026\, and is free for eve
 ryone to watch. Crowds line Beacon Avenue and the surrounding streets to 
 see illuminated floats\, marching bands\, community groups\, dance troupe
 s\, vintage vehicles and local businesses all decked out in seasonal chee
 r\, with Santa Claus himself anchoring the procession. The evening parade
  has become one of the region's best-loved family traditions\, pairing sm
 all-town charm with the sparkle of hundreds of lights reflected off the h
 arbour. Many spectators arrive early to find a spot\, browse Sidney's sho
 ps and restaurants\, and warm up with hot chocolate before the floats beg
 in. The parade is a signature community event for the Greater Victoria Fe
 stival Society\, which stages several of the area's largest public celebr
 ations through the year. Dress warmly\, as late November evenings on the 
 water can be cold\, and consider arriving ahead of time\, since downtown 
 Sidney streets fill quickly along the route. It is a cheerful\, welcoming
  kickoff to December for peninsula families and visitors alike.\n\nhttps:
