The Aldergrove Christmas parade is Langley’s Santa Claus parade. The Christmas Light Up Parade rolls through downtown Aldergrove on Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 6 to 7:15 pm, and it’s free to watch. Make a day of it: the free pre-parade community gathering runs from 3 to 6 pm at 270 Street and Fraser Highway, with food, hot drinks, entertainment and Santa.
What time is the Aldergrove Christmas parade?
- 3 to 6 pm: pre-parade community gathering at 270 Street and Fraser Highway (free).
- 6 pm: the Light Up Parade starts.
- 7:15 pm: the parade is scheduled to finish.
It’s an evening parade, so floats are lit up and it’s dark by the time it starts. Dress for December rain.
Aldergrove parade route and road closures
The parade runs through downtown Aldergrove. The organisers haven’t posted a 2026 route map yet. Their page links to the 2025 road closure map, which is the best guide to which streets close and where to park outside them until the new one is up. We’ll add the 2026 closures to our road closures page when they’re published.
Fraser Highway is the main road through Aldergrove, so expect detours during the parade if you’re driving through rather than watching.
Where to park and watch
The organisers don’t name official viewing spots or parking lots. Downtown Aldergrove is small and walkable, so the practical plan is to park outside the closed streets on the map, walk in, and find a spot along the route early if you want the front row. The pre-parade gathering at 270 Street and Fraser Highway is the natural meeting point.
Santa at the Aldergrove parade
Santa is expected at the pre-parade gathering from 3 to 6 pm. More places to see him this season, including free photos at the Langley Christmas Village and breakfasts with Santa, are on our Santa in Langley page.
How to enter a float in the Aldergrove Christmas parade
Businesses, clubs, teams and community groups can enter. The deadline for 2026 is Monday, December 7. Read the parade rules and regulations and apply through the organisers’ page. Questions go to [email protected].
The Aldergrove tree lighting
Aldergrove’s Christmas season starts a few weeks earlier, with the tree lighting on Sunday, November 22, from 4 to 7 pm, at the same corner, 270 Street and Fraser Highway.
