Positive news following the city council meeting yesterday! The 2026 Santa Claus Parade will take place down Main Street, as it has for decades! We are thrilled to get back to our traditional route!

🎄 Airdrie’s 2027 Canada Day parade route remains under review after a temporary route was used for this year’s event.

The Airdrie Parade Committee told council the 2026 changes created planning challenges and reduced how many entries could take part. The City has committed to determining the 2027 route no later than Jan. 31, while this year’s Santa Claus Parade will return to its traditional route.

Full story is on our DiscoverAirdrie app and website.

The top three favourite parts of the 2026 Airdrie Canada Day Parade, according to the spectator survey, were:

The Floats - participants put a lot of effort and time into those amazing floats!!

Time with family - lots of smiling faces and cheering in the crowd!

Community - events like the Canada Day Parade and the Santa Claus Parade are planned with a sense of community in mind. We are proud to put on an inclusive and welcoming event for Airdrie!

The results are in!

We had a different route this year with new seating options. The feedback was largely positive regarding these two themes.

70% of survey respondents indicated that the seating at this year’s Canada Day Parade was average to excellent! The City of Airdrie provided bleachers this year to help accommodate seating along the shortened route. They were well utilized and a great addition!

60% of respondents stated that the length of the Canada Day Parade, despite the changes, was average to excellent!

63% of survey respondents said their overall Airdrie Canada Day Parade experience was average to excellent.

We had a lot of changes this year and we appreciate the support of parade participants and spectators to make this year’s parade safe and fun for all!
