Pembroke Parade of Lights

The City of Pembroke is home to the best nighttime parade in the Ottawa Valley!

This year’s edition of the annual Santa Claus Parade of Lights will take place on Saturday, November 25th at 5:30 p.m.

This year’s theme will be 150 Years of Christmas as we celebrate the holiday season in Canadian history. We’re encouraging participants to turn the parade into a walk through history, with each float focused on a different era over the last 150 years, whether it’s 1867, the ‘50s, the ‘80s, or anywhere in between. It’s a way to have fun while celebrating our heritage!​

The parade will begin from Moncion’s Metro back parking lot and proceed through our City’s historic downtown, finishing at L’Equinoxe Public School at the corner of Pembroke St. and Christie St.
