The 27th Annual Unionville
Olde Tyme Christmas
& Candlelight Parade

The 2007 Candlelight Parade, held on Friday, December 7 on Main Street Unionville, was as always an enjoyable event for all ages and successfully kicked off a weekend of events in the 27th Olde Tyme Christmas in this historic town.

Few places can replicate an old-fashioned Christmas as realistically as Main Street Unionville. Village charm, quaint architecture and small town courtesy are the hallmarks of the town’s most popular winter attraction.

Friday evening's parade, highlighted by an appearance by jolly old Santa Claus himself, was only the beginning of a three day festival that included Victorian-style carolers, streetlamps, sleigh bells, and carriage rides . . . Christmas card scenes that came alive.

But Olde Tyme Christmas on Main Street Unionville did not end on Sunday. The spirit continues throughout the holiday season with carriage rides and beautifully decorated streets, and, of course, a wide variety of shops catering to all your Christmas needs.

Main Street Unionville's merchants
lead the way, candles in hand. The Markham Fair, and their mascot,
wouldn't miss this parade for all the world!

One of Santa's reindeer makes a cameo. Christmas carols on the bagpipes. What a delight!

The "Travelin' Riverboat Show' sails up Main Street. Children lend their voices and smiling faces
to the spirit of the season.

The Shriners drum band gives a
Christmas song their distinctive sound. Christmas can be brassy too!

Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Ward 3 Councillor
Joseph Virgilio bring greetings from Town Council. The Governor General's Horseguard honour the occasion.

Markham's Highland heritage has a bright future!

Donna's Driving Service. They'll be offering rides along Main Street Unionville to shoppers all through the holiday season.

Rudolf leads the reindeers on a much enjoyed float. Jolly old Santa Claus was the star of the show!

Santa enquires who's been naughty or nice! A delightful caroling ensemble serenaded
both shoppers and parade goers.
