Newmarket Santa Claus Lane Saturday, Nov. 2111:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the cancellation of the annual Santa Claus Parade on Main Street, but COVID is not enough to keep Santa from visiting all the boys and girls of Newmarket. Santa and his elves have been working hard to create Santa Claus Lane, a unique drive-through event where kids can be entertained, drop off their letters for Santa, and give a Newmarket welcome to the big man from the safety... and comfort of their car. Decorate your car and drive through Santa Claus Lane this Saturday, November 21 at the Ray Twinney Complex. Important Information: No walkers allowed. You must be in a car. This will be strictly enforced and no exceptions will be made. Participants MUST register in advance. Please visit https://www.newmarket.ca/santa for more information
