There was a chill in the air, and even some snow falling, but the welcome was very warm Saturday as Santa Claus returned to Bolton. The annual Santa Claus Parade was hosted by the Bolton Kinsmen.

The girls of Joanne Chapman Dance School were dancing up a storm along the parade route.

Members of the Sandhill Pipes and Drums even added some Santa-style beards for their performance.

Stan Janes was out with the Home James mascot, driving home the message of a good local alternative to driving home after too much holiday celebrating.

Caledon Hills Fellowship Baptist Church near Caledon East was well represented by this float in the parade.

Gianna Moscarella of Nobleton made sure her daughters Olivia, 4, and Leah, 7, were in good position to greet Santa.

Members of the 1st Bolton Cub Scouts were collecting contributions to the Caledon Food Bank.

Guess who Liam Blaber, 3, spotted in the distance along the parade route?

It just looked like a sleigh, but these 1st Bolton Girl Guides had a good time waving at the crowds along the parade route.

The Holy Family Roman Catholic Parish entered this impressive looking flat.

People from 310 Running were riding on this float.
