Santa Claus visits east London in annual Argyle BIA parade

The city’s east side is getting festive!

The sixth annual Argyle BIA Santa Claus Parade will march down Dundas Street starting at 11 a.m. Saturday.

LaVonne Haynes, events manager for the Argyle BIA, says there’s a “good mix” of new and returning displays in this year’s parade.

The parade is also set to include three military vehicles from Forest City Surplus, and Maple City Tire is bringing the Michelin Man.

The weather is expected to be in ideal condition Saturday morning, and Haynes predicts she’ll see four to six thousand smiling faces at the parade, including lots of children.
