To accommodate the Peterborough Kinsmen Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, Dec. 7, parking and road access in downtown areas will be restricted.
Parking Restrictions:
Parking will be prohibited along George Street North and nearby side streets south of Parkhill Road starting at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 7. Vehicles parked in restricted areas after this time will be ticketed and towed to Morrow Park’s parking lot on Roger Neilson Way.
The City encourages parade-goers to park in municipal lots or garages, which are offering free two-hour parking through a holiday program sponsored by Wolfe Personal Injury Lawyers. Voluntary parking fees paid during December support Kawartha Food Share.

Antrim, Edinburgh, Dublin, London, McDonnel, and Murray streets (Aylmer Street to Water Street)
Princess Street (George Street to Park Street)
Aylmer Street (Lansdowne Street to Romaine Street)
The parade begins at 4:45 p.m. at McDonnel Street and proceeds south on George Street toward Lansdowne Street, ending at Princess Street. All road closures are expected to lift by 7:30 p.m.
Transit Detours:
Peterborough Transit routes #2, #4, #6, #9, #22, and #23 will detour around George Street starting at 3:30 p.m.
Residents and visitors are urged to follow parking regulations and respect road closures to ensure a smooth event.
