The Banff Santa Claus Parade of Lights brings lit floats and Santa down Banff Avenue, with Cascade Mountain as the backdrop. It’s traditionally held in late November, kicking off the town’s Christmas season.
Where to Watch
Downtown Banff Avenue is the heart of the route. Arrive 30 minutes early and dress for mountain cold.
