Thousands of spectators, over one hundred floats, and one jolly St. Nick are congregating downtown Carleton Place this holiday season for the largest Santa Claus parade in the Ottawa Valley. Amid a sparkling cascade of LED Christmas lights and under the dark winter sky, the BIA (Business Improvement Association) hosts the 8th Annual evening parade on Saturday, November 27, 2010. The train of spectacular floats ? all of which will reflect this year?s theme of "A Disney Christmas? - will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Carambeck School and travel up the town?s main thoroughfare, Bridge Street.
