This year’s Yorkton Santa Claus Parade is the 25th Year of this event!
YBID completely restructured the Yorkton Santa Claus Parade to operate in a “reverse” parade format during COVID, and the format was an overwhelming success! A reverse parade is exactly that – the floats and usually rolling equipment marshals in place, and it’s the SPECTATORS that roll through the parade.
The benefit of this approach means the SPECTATORS remain warm and toasty in their car as they take in the parade. Over COVID, that containment into family groups actually allowed the parade to continue unabated and without interruption due to the public health restrictions that were in place at the time.
The Second year of the Reverse Parade format (last year) was equally well received. Forearmed with the experience of that first year, and with the amazing support of the City of Yorkton, the Yorkton RCMP, Parkland Search and Rescue – we developed a traffic management plan that all but eliminated the lineups, moving more vehicles through the parade faster, safer and more enjoyably for all!
