It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you look there is another event in Canton, Texas. So we have made this list to help you completely sleigh Christmas. (These aren’t necessarily in order by date)
1. December 10th - Christmas Parade / Snow Day Festival
So this event is a bit of a twofer. Not only is the Canton Texas Chamber of Commerce hosting their annual Lighted Christmas Parade, but immediately afterward, there are partnering with the Canton Main Street Program to bring the fresh event “Snow Day Festival.”
During the Parade, watch for all of the favorites including the lighted floats, of course, Fuller’s tow trucks, and Santa himself! The theme for this year’s parade is “Christmas Movies.” The parade should take about an hour, but just a quick note: this year we have flipped the route. The route will start at the South Gate of First Monday and head east on Hwy. 63 and turn right and travel South on Buffalo St.
After the parade, visit the Santa Village at the Snow Day Festival just north of the square across from Canton City Hall to grab a picture with Santa, some hot chocolate, and more. It’s going to be a great time.
2. December 3rd - Christmas Magic at Canton Marketplace

3. December 15th - Downtown Canton Sip & Shop
Shopping locally isn’t just important to our community it is VITAL. On December the 15th you will have the opportunity to shop late in downtown Canton at all of the great businesses that will stay open. There are going to be drinks, desserts, and discounts to go around. This program is put on by our Canton Main Street. Speaking of Downtown Canton, have you seen the lights on the square? The big oak trees wrapped with lights are completely breathtaking, get out and take a picture.
