It was a bright, sunny day Saturday; perfect weather to get out and greet Santa Claus as he made his return to Bolton in the annual Santa Claus Parade. The crowds gathered at the side of Queen Street in Bolton Saturday to greet him as he made his triumphant return.

There were scores of groups taking part in the parade, hosted by the Bolton Kinsmen, to make it a success. These members of Canadian Dance Unit made their usual upbeat contribution to the festivities.
