Rogers Vancouver Santa Claus Parade - Best Viewing Locations:
Anyplace along the route will allow spectators a view of the parade; however, both sides of Georgia Street on the slope between Bute and Broughton, at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and at Robson Square on Howe Street probably offer the best views of the parade.
Keep in mind that watching the parade near the beginning of the route allows you to leave earlier, so spots along Georgia tend to fill up more quickly.
Spectators who are on Howe Street toward Davie will have to wait at least an hour for the parade to arrive.
