Barrie Santa Claus Parade makes triumphant return to downtown core
This year’s theme was holiday traditions which the Barrie Chamber of Commerce said was designed to celebrate multiple cultures looking to the past, present and future.
Paul Markle, executive director of the Barrie Chamber of Commerce, estimates there were around 70,000 people out on the streets to watch the parade but said it’s hard to know the exact amount.“Nothing beats getting back to a regular parade route. Bradford Street all the way down to the end of Dunlop was packed. I’ve never seen as many people in for a parade in my lifetime as far as going to Santa Claus parades in Barrie,” Markle said.
