Dozens of groups from Niagara-on-the-Lake and beyond took to the streets on Saturday for the annual Christmas Parade.

Santa was the main attraction, of course, but the Grinch was everywhere, too.

It was one of the largest crowds in recent memory, thanks in part to the balmy 15C weather.

The huge turnout was a welcome return to normal after the COVID years.
