2025 La Porte Santa Parade

Baby it's cold outside, and Santa is getting ready to come to Downtown La Porte! The lineup is being finalized for the 2025 Santa Parade held on November 29 at 4:00 p.m. The parade runs through downtown on State Street, left on Michigan Avenue, left on Lincolnway where Santa will disembark from his sleigh to greet the community in Plaza 618, 618 Lincolnway. After the parade, children can visit with newly-arrived Santa at his chalet.

Beginning at 2 p.m. at Plaza 618, enjoy free coffee and hot chocolate with Christmas-themed treats by Betty Sweets for purchase. An "elfie" station will also be set up for you to create lasting memories of your festive parade looks, and don't forget to tag #LaPorteCountdownToClaus to share them.

Also, take a moment to cast your vote for your favorite storefront beginning November 17th through December 2nd. Link available soon!
