On Saturday, November 18 at 11:00 AM, the annual Newmarket Santa Claus Parade kicked off in the downtown core. It was a beautiful sunny day with above zero temperature, attracting a huge audience.

The Tian Guo Marching Band was given a warm welcome, with people clapping, singing and dancing during their perfomance. The crowd particularly enjoyed hearing "Jingle Bells" and clapped enthusiastically during the song.
