The jolly fat man in the red suit makes his big entrance Friday night in High River.

The annual Santa Claus Parade has gone through some terrible weather although Friday night looks pretty good and with a dusting of snow it'll even look a little like the holidays.

The parade starts at 6:30 P.M. heading north on MacLeod Trail to the post office and then turns and heads south on 1 Street southwest to 7 Avenue.

There's carolling and the official Light Up at the entrance to George Lane park at 5:15 P.M.

If you can't make it we'll be live streaming the event on Facebook.
