To the delight of thousands of children and just as many kids at heart, Santa Claus brought Christmas cheer to Brantford during the 38th annual JCI Santa Claus Parade on Saturday night. Santa travelled from Colborne Street and Second Avenue through downtown Brantford to Harmony Square before he hopped off his float to join the crowd for the Toys Come Alive Santa Claus Parade After Party. There, he met with children, took part in the official Christmas tree lighting and listened to the sounds of live entertainment.
