Santa Parade and Holiday Lighting

Get ready for another fun parade around the city! You’ll be able to track Santa’s progress via the Waltham Fire X (Twitter) account on the day of the event. The parade will conclude at Waltham Common, where the annual holiday lighting festivities will begin (~4:30 p.m.). Waltham Show Choir will perform some holiday classics, while Waltham Salvation Army serves hot cocoa.

After the common is lit (~5:00 p.m.), there will be a special appearance by Santa! Parents make sure to bring your cameras to take your child’s photo with Santa in the gazebo.

Check the city web site for the up-to-date route and information on tracking the parade in real time.
