Brampton & Bolton Santa Parades 2026: Times & Santa Photos

HOLIDAYS & LOCAL EVENTS · BRAMPTON & CALEDON

Brampton and Caledon offer two different parade styles: a nighttime celebration in Bramalea and a later morning outing in Bolton. Here is how to choose a family visit and plan a separate Santa photo appointment.

Brampton: November 21 at 5:00 p.m.

The confirmed route starts at Bramalea Road and Central Park Drive, travels north on Bramalea Road, then east on North Park Drive to Jordan Boulevard. Use this year’s map when planning where to park and watch; do not rely on older downtown parade directions.

Bolton / Caledon: December 5 at 11:00 a.m.

The Bolton Kin organizer confirms the December 5 date and 11:00 a.m. start. Check its current route and road closure announcements closer to your visit. This later parade is an option for families who cannot attend Brampton in November.

Meet Santa & Take Photos

Bramalea City Centre: the Santa photography booking directory lists a set on the lower level by Pandora, with separate photo, meet-and-greet, pet and Sensitive Santa options. Open the Bramalea Santa photo booking options to select a date and see current fees and availability. A published booking page does not guarantee that a preferred slot remains open.

Keep the two activities flexible

A photo appointment is different from watching Santa pass in the parade. Give yourself time between bookings, walking and road closures. If travelling from elsewhere in Caledon, select one main outing and leave room for a warm-up break.
