Syracuse Santa Parade

- Ages: All ages

Instead of one parade route, Santa tours Syracuse neighborhoods, so families step outside when they hear the siren coming and catch candy as he passes.
The city posts a 2026 Santa Map so you can see when he will be near your street, plus a live Santa Tracker once the parade starts, and Santa's furry green friend is riding along this year.
Parent tip: Check the 2026 Santa Map the night before and keep the live tracker open that morning so the kids are bundled up and waiting at the curb.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
