Santa’s Village – Essex is Canada’s most southern Santa’s Village, where family and friends come together to celebrate the magic of the Christmas season.
We’re dedicated to rekindling the cherished memories and traditions of the past while creating new ones for generations to come.
Santa’s Village & Market Essex is located in the Town of Essex (Essex Centre) at Heritage Park - 87 Station Street Essex. Click HERE for a google map view.
The event takes place every year on the same day as the Town of Essex Annual Santa Claus Parade - this year it falls on Saturday, December 13th, 2025.
As we celebrate our 4th Annual Santa’s Village & Market, our vision continues to grow — transforming this festive celebration into a can’t-miss holiday tradition for families across Windsor-Essex.
Where to Park for Santa’s Village & Market?
Parking is easy! The event area is marked in green on our map, and available parking lots are highlighted in red.
Once those lots are full, you’re welcome to park along nearby side streets. Please note that Talbot Street will be closed to parking during the event to make room for the thousands of visitors enjoying the Essex BIA Santa Claus Parade, which begins at 6:30 PM.
Thank you for helping us keep the event safe and enjoyable for everyone!
