JCI Kootenay Announces 54th Annual Cranbrook Santa Claus Parade
JCI Kootenay is excited to bring back the cherished community tradition with the 54th Annual Cranbrook Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 29, 2025. The event will once again fill downtown Cranbrook with festive holiday spirit and cheer.
New Event Addition: Rotary Park Light Up
Following the parade, attendees are invited to Rotary Park for the lighting of Christmas decorations. The celebration will feature music, lights, and a warm community atmosphere to mark the start of the holiday season.
Supporting the Cranbrook Food Bank
This year, JCI Kootenay is partnering with the Cranbrook Food Bank in new ways to assist families in need. One initiative is a Reverse Advent Calendar, created in collaboration with the Food Bank and Visit Cranbrook. Instead of receiving gifts during Advent, participants are encouraged to give daily donations of items most needed by the Food Bank.
