BIG floats and BIG fun at Brantford Santa Claus Parade

FROM A KID’S PERSPECTIVE

With Paris’ Stephen L

The winter holidays were celebrated at the Brantford Santa Claus Parade, a wonderful kidfriendly evening event, on Brantford’s main street! It showcased so many amazing floats from the Grinch on top of a shed to Santa Claus and his magical reindeer, you have no i-deer! Here are some wonderful highlights that I included here from the 47th annual Brantford Santa Claus Parade.

Big Floats and Big Fun

Tigercat, a company that specializes in forestry machinery, arrived at the parade towing what appeared to be a snow plow decorated with Christmas lights I thought of it as a pretty smart way of showcasing their machinery yet fitting the subject simultaneously

Brantford’s very own Twin Valley Zoo also made an entry into the festive parade displaying their winter wonderland with giant candy canes, Christmas trees, and even snowmen! It was fun to look at and they even came with zookeepers giving multiple assortments of

Candy To The Audience

Another native Brantford company, the Brantford Police Service came yet again but this time with a bigger trailer! They had their own little gingerbread house with Paw Patrol characters (that I think you might recognize) and the BPS mascot in the middle with a police officer costume on You could say the float was pawtastic!

Equal Ground Community Gardens was especially a pretty large float, yet equally as creative too! They had a long trolley with a greenhouse on it with kids next to it dressed in costumes portraying fruits and vegetables! It’s a pretty smart thing to do, especially since the business is about facilitating community gardens.

Little Floats Yet Large Creativity

BEECH Infrastructure surprised Brantford with its float in honour of a classic holiday animated movie.
