It’s a busy weekend for Santa Claus.
He has scheduled visits this weekend in Orillia and Barrie.
This year, on the usual parade weekend (Nov. 20 – 21), Santa will be riding a float through the streets of Orillia and surrounding communities, giving youngsters and the young at heart a chance to experience a glimpse of holiday magic from the safety of their own neighbourhood.
Santa will be escorted by an emergency vehicle with siren so that residents along his route will be alerted to his arrival in enough time to come outside to see him ride by.
The Light Up Orillia Lake Country Contest will be running again this year and will start the same weekend as the Santa Comes to Town Tour. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to take part by decorating their properties and registering at orillia.com.
