SATURDAY NOVEMBER 22 from 5:00PM-8:00PM

All currently registered Recreational and Competitive gymnasts are welcome to march and represent Aereo Gymnastics Club in the annual Welland Santa Claus Parade !

Gymnasts MUST be wearing the black Aereo Gymnastics Hoodie (available to order online until October 25th) as their outer most layer, SOLID black pants and a Santa Hat of their choice. Gymnasts will not be permitted to participate unless they are wearing the mandatory uniform. NO EXCEPTIONS.

The parade route begins at Canadian Tire Financial Services @ the corner of East Main St and Wellington (this is where parents and gymnasts will locate the Aereo Gymnastics group), and marches west down Main Street, ending at Civic Square.

ALL participating gymnasts require one parent/legal guardian with them to march in the parade.

The City of Welland invites us all to join Santa Claus and Mayor Campion at Civic Square after the parade to light Welland's Christmas tree. Take a photo, mail your letters to Santa, make a holiday craft, and meet festive characters.

At 6:30pm there will be a chill cookoff between the Welland Fire and Emergency Services and the Niagara Regional Police Services.

In the spirit of giving, please bring donations to the parade to help decorate the 2025 Mitten Tree at Civic Square. Acceptable items include adult and children's mittens, hats, scarves, slippers, socks and onesies, toiletries, towels/blankets, children's toys, and canned/boxed non-perishable food items. All donated items must be new. Donations go to Community Christmas Toys.
