The Christmas parade and the Great Holiday Spree festivities are just around the corner!

Nov 13, 2025

The City of Edmundston, in collaboration with Downtown Edmundston and the Edmundston-Madawaska Tourism Office, invites you to the Christmas Parade on Saturday, November 22^nd, starting at 7 p.m. Once again this year, the parade will take place entirely in the city centre, setting the stage for the Great Holiday Spree festivities!

The parade will begin at the corner of Rice Street and Canada Road and end at City Hall Square. Along the route, there will be several stations offering free hot chocolate. We invite you to bring a non-perishable food item or a new toy for a chance to win one of many participation prizes.

After the parade, it's time to light up the Christmas tree at City Hall Square. This will also be the official launch of the Great Holiday Spree with its festive window displays and magical decorations from November 28 to December 14 in a brand new format. Come and rediscover your local shops through a unique experience: musical performances, encounters with traditional Christmas characters, and many other surprises await you downtown!
