๐ŸŽ„ Echo Bay Parade of Lights โ€“ 2025 Route Update ๐ŸŽ„

The Township of Macdonald, Meredith & Aberdeen Additional is excited to keep our long-loved
Parade of Lights shining bright on
Saturday, December 13, 2025!

Due to new provincial traffic control requirements, our traditional parade route is no longer feasible.
But donโ€™t worryโ€”your Township team has been working hard to ensure the show goes on! Weโ€™ve created a
safe, fun, fully municipal route that keeps all the holiday magic right here in the Village.


๐Ÿ“… Event Schedule

  • Parade Participants Arrive: 6:00 PM at Echo Bay Self Storage
  • Parade Start Time: 7:00 PM
  • Estimated Road Closures: 6:30 PM โ€“ 8:00 PM

Parade Date: Saturday, December 13, 2025


๐ŸŽ… Staging Area

The parade will stage at Echo Bay Self Storage (a huge thank-you to the Cooper family for
generously providing access). All floats, walkers, and participants are asked to arrive by 6:00 PM.


๐Ÿš— Parking & Washrooms

Public parking and washroom facilities will be available at the
Echo Bay Elks Lodge. We are extremely grateful for their partnership and community spirit!


โ˜• Hot Chocolate & Holiday Cheer

Join Township staff and volunteers at Hurley Park (Tennis Court area) for free hot chocolate and festive treats.

Please note: There is no parking in this area due to pedestrian activity and parade flow.


๐Ÿ›ท 2025 Parade Route

The parade will follow this municipal-only loop (twice):

  • Start at Echo Bay Self Storage

After completing the loop twice, floats will exit via Church Street.

Echo Bay tradition alive and festive!
