We hope you enjoyed the show!
The only way to kick off your holiday celebration is with the Greater Scranton Jaycees and WNEP-TV!
The 19th Annual Greater Scranton Jaycee Santa Parade, presented by Jack Williams Tire and Auto Service Centers, Boscov's and The Mall at Steamtown, illuminates Downtown Scranton with music, color and laughter. WNEP-TV is proud to present the holiday festivities live on WNEP!
Divisions of marching bands, high-flying balloons, and jolly revelors signal the beginning of the holiday season. Join us curbside for all the fun, or catch it live in your 'jammies!
Santa's Special Mail Corps: Santa knows how important it is for you to get your Christmas list to the North Pole. That's why children can bring their letters to Santa at the Parade, and his helpers will collect them as his carriage rides through the parade route. Since Santa is picking them up personally, no purchase is necessary. Look for Santa's Little Helpers along the parade route on November 19, 2011.
Santa's Little Helper Contest: The parade committee is introducing a new treat this year. Children can enter a chance to win a ride the parade route with Santa! Children must pre-register and be present at the Mall at Steamtown when they and Boscov's draw the lucky winners. The drawing will be held on Friday, November 11, 2011 at 6pm. To find out how to pre-register, visit the Greater Scranton Jaycees website.
Grand Marshall: Tim Ruddy, Scranton and Dunmore native and NFL superstar is proud to be back home serving as the 2011 Grand Marshal. Tim was graduated from Dunmore High School and the University of Notre Dame. A standout on the field and in the classroom, Tim is a perfect choice to welcome the holiday season to Downtown Scranton.
Other special treats in 2011: roving street performers will speckle curbside while the Scranton High School Advanced Chorus again fills the streets with song.
