Thousands of people, including children of all ages, packed the streets of downtown Winnipeg on Saturday for the 111th Santa Claus Parade, which made a full comeback after two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
Crowds braved temperatures of around -14 C to watch dozens of festive floats, including Santa's sleigh, rolling down Portage Avenue and Memorial Boulevard.
"Growing up, we always went to the Santa parade, so I'm excited to share this experience with my son," said Ashley Marquart, who was taking her young one to his first Christmas parade.
Also experiencing the event for the first time was Kasui Kung, who had recently moved to Winnipeg from Hong Kong.
"I always saw those videos and the parade should be great, so this is the first year we are here in Winnipeg, so we had to come to see [it]," said Kung, who donned some festive headwear for the occasion.
"All those Christmas vibes [are] exciting," she added.
