The Town of Essex hosts the final Christmas parade in the region Saturday.
The Town of Essex Santa Claus Parade gets underway at 6:30pm at Talbot St. S and Fairview Ave. From there, it will travel north along Talbot St. to Maidstone Ave.
Windsor Parade Corporation Executive Director Maggie Durocher says there are about 40 entries in this year's parade including the Rennaissance Marching Band from Detroit, Michigan. It will be the band's first trip to Essex.
The United Church on Talbot St. S is serving hot chocolate, and colour commentary is outside the TDCanadaTrust bank branch on Talbot St. N near Centre St.
