The Stittsville Parade of Lights takes place on Saturday, December 6, 2025.

It starts at 6:00 pm and runs along Stittsville Main Street from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer to Carleton Cathcart Street.
Please note: Stittsville Main Street will close to traffic at 5:45 pm.

The Stittsville Village Association is the organizer of the parade. It’s an annual tradition that draws thousands of spectators to Stittsville Main Street. Each year, dozens of beautifully decorated community floats set the tone for Santa’s much-anticipated arrival at the end of the parade. Merry makers are also encouraged to stay for the lighting of Village Square Park, and to share in some hot chocolate, cookies, musical entertainment, tree lighting, and a visit with Santa immediately following the parade.

Coca-Cola’s “Canada’s Kindest Community” contest
Each year, Coca-Cola organizes local stops to celebrate the season, foster community connections, and spread kindness. Residents can nominate Stittsville by visiting the contest page. We could receive $100,000 from Coca-Cola to support a local initiative or community improvement project. In Stittsville, Coca-Cola will be joining the Brown’s Independent Grocer Community Holiday Event, and taking part in the Stittsville Parade of Lights.
