Welcome the magic of the holiday season with open arms at the annual Acton Santa Claus Parade! Organized proudly by the Acton Firefighters’ Association, this historic afternoon celebration brings over 2,000 neighbors, families, and visitors together to line the streets of downtown Acton for a fantastic display of festive community pride.
Bundle up in your winter gear and secure a prime viewing spot anywhere along the central route. The parade is packed with seasonal joy, featuring a vibrant procession of beautifully decorated community floats, marching bands, heritage emergency vehicles, local athletic groups, and fun costumed characters. Keep your eyes peeled at the very end of the line for the most anticipated arrival of the year—Santa Claus waving from his reindeer-led sleigh!
