The parade, with more than 50 marching units, including bands, local scout troops, sports leagues, floats, emergency vehicles, and of course, Santa Claus, himself, will step off at 2 p.m. from the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St. The line of march will continue through downtown, stop at the reviewing stand on Main Street and disband at French Memorial Park.
