The Belleville Santa Claus Parade for 2020 may not look the same, but we’re excited to announce he will still be coming to town on Sunday, November 22nd, 2020 as the host of our 2020 Holiday Drive-By Celebration.

The Belleville Chamber of Commerce has been working with the City of Belleville staff, Belleville Police Services and the HPEPH Unit to coordinate a safe alternative to the traditional parade. The Holiday Drive-By Celebration will reverse the process with spectators moving through a one-way route at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre from 5-7 pm, which will showcase the static displays assembled by businesses from all sectors, churches and local non-profit organizations surrounded by festive music.

In the interest of safety and compliance with gathering limits, pedestrian access will not be permitted but we are working toward providing a shuttle service with Belleville Transit for those who do not drive or have mobility issues. Information on the shuttle service will be posted on the Facebook page as we confirm the final details: https://www.facebook.com/bellevillesantaclausparade

Donations for Gleaners Food Bank and the Firefighters Toy Drive will still be accepted and volunteers from Canada Post will be collecting letters to Santa.
