Sponsorship 2026
30,000 people, out on a November evening, looking your way.
The parade is free to watch and free for community groups to walk in. Sponsors are the reason both of those things are true.
What your money actually pays for
The parade is run by a body of volunteers with support from the Downtown Sudbury BIA and the City of Greater Sudbury.
- Road closures and traffic control — seven streets, paid detail, from 3:00 p.m. until an hour after the last entry.
- The fireworks — the reason people arrive an hour early.
- High-visibility gear and radios for the marshals on the route.
- Marshalling supplies — entry placards, barricades, hot chocolate at 4:30 p.m.
- The awards evening — where the float that spent six weekends in somebody's garage gets a trophy.
