It's too soon to know if there will be snow on the ground for the 76th edition of the Barrie Santa Claus Parade.
Presented by the Barrie Chamber of Commerce, this year's theme is "Toyland!"
The parade is on Saturday, November 15, at 5 p.m. Public viewing begins on Lakeshore Drive north of the Tiffin Boat launch.
"Lakeshore Drive, Simcoe Street, and Dunlop Street through downtown Barrie will experience road closures and restricted crossings throughout the day for the safety of parade participants and attendees," the chamber said in a social media post.
If you live within the red-shaded area shown on the map, you are asked to move your vehicle outside the parade zone before 3:30 p.m. to avoid being blocked in once setup begins.
"Cross-streets will remain open until approximately 4 p.m., after which only limited access points-such as Simcoe and Toronto Street-will remain available for controlled movement," the chamber said.
The evening also includes the Festival of Trees, Santa's fireside gathering at Centennial Park, the Barrie BIA's Noella Festival, the tree lighting, a free downtown concert, and fireworks presented by the city.
