Below is a press release from the organizers of the Wilmington Santa Parade:

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington’s Santa Parade is back again this year! The parade is scheduled for Sunday, December 3, 2023 and will kick off starting at 8:30am.

The parade organizers will be collecting toy and food pantry donations as well as letters for military troops along the parade route by passing them to the elves on the second A&S Towing truck in the parade line-up. Residents also have the option of dropping them off at the Wilmington Public Safety Building. Toy donations will go to Wilmington children in need through the Wilmington Fire Department’s Toys for Children Drive. The town food pantry will receive the food collected.

The parade route will be published soon in detail on the event Facebook page: “Wilmington, MA Santa Parade”. The Parade will be doing the silent run through the Town Hall parking lot for those that have sound sensitivity. Residents can check out the approximate times and the route on the Facebook page. They can also get live updates on that same page throughout the day during the parade.

The Santa Parade Facebook page reminds everyone that the safety of the volunteers and the public coming out to see the “big guy” is paramount. Inclement weather and road conditions could change the route and timing of the parade. Published times are approximate as traffic conditions may also impact the schedules.
