Santa Claus waves to a group of children who were calling out his name as the parade was about to start on Saturday night.
The streets downtown were lined with families as Santa Claus paid a visit to Yellowknife on Saturday night. The unusually warm temperature meant big crowds were on hand to witness the two dozen floats and groups who marched ahead of the North Pole's most famous resident. With snow beginning to fall just as the parade began it was a magical night for a parade.
