Santa was in fine form at the Lion’s Head Santa Claus Parade sponsored by Rotary and held on the afternoon of Saturday, December 2nd. It was a great parade with plenty of floats and participants, and a huge turnout to greet Santa as he visited Lion’s Head! 

After completing the parade route through the Village of Lion’s Head, Santa headed up to Rotary Hall to greet everyone outside the Hall. Santa’s elves Ava Perrault and Annabelle Galasso helped hand out treat bags, while Friends of the Lion’s Head Library gave out books to kids outside Rotary Hall after the Parade.

Thanks to Jeff Labonte for pulling Santa’s sleigh/trailer through Lion’s Head in his vintage 1947 Dodge pickup truck ‘Moonshine’! Thanks as well to Rod Barr for being Parade Marshall for another Rotary Santa Claus Parade! Parade judges decided the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula entered the best float in this year’s parade! Special thanks to the generous financial contributors who supported the Rotary Santa Claus Parade event, including Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, Grey Bruce Cottages, Clarks Marine and ATV Service, and By the Bay. Thanks to all who participated in the Parade and those who came out to watch and greet Santa!
