Even Santa, as busy as he is at this time of year, will be making a special effort and has promised to be there!

After the Santa Claus Parade, Santa will be in his castle right on Main Street where you can visit him and get your picture taken! You can even tell him what you want for Christmas! (Hope you've been good!)

Main Street will be closed to traffic so that everybody can safely enjoy the street party.

There will be lots of food, entertainers wandering the street, carollers, fiddlers, strolling musicians, concert bands, magicians, a street BBQ, a petting zoo, all kinds of treats and the biggest Ball Hockey Tournament ever in Markham and, oh well I could go on and on but you get the message!

All of the businesses on Main street will be open late to celebrate the beginning of the Holiday Season, and they have all been working hard to get ready with their specials for the season.

Visit all of your friends in their businesses on Main Street Markham and enjoy the special treats, entertainment and products that they have arranged for you.

And don't forget the geese! Main Street Markham's magical geese are all over the street and they have delayed going south for the winter just to be at the party, and they will be out in their party outfits!
