Here comes Santa: Route set for annual parade

The Kin Club of Nashwaaksis will once again be hosting the Fredericton Santa Claus Parade this weekend on the city’s south side.

The parade will begin Saturday at 5 p.m. after forming along St. Anne’s Point Drive, between Regent Street and the Westmorland Street Bridge.

The parade will turn right from St. Anne’s Point Drive onto Queen Street, then proceed up Queen to Risteen’s Landing, where it will loop back onto St. Anne’s Point Drive and return to its starting point.

The eastbound lanes of St. Anne’s Point Drive between the bridge and Regent will be closed to traffic for the parade lineup. To accommodate larger floats, there will be no parking allowed on either side of Queen between Regent and Carleton streets.

The Kin Club has hosted the annual parade for more than four decades. The event alternates each year between the city’s north and south sides.
