On Saturday, he'll start his evening in Greater Sudbury at 5:30 p.m., where the parade will begin with fireworks and then wind its way through the downtown core.
From there, he will have to ‘bee-line’ over to Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins for parades that start at 6 p.m.
Then on Sunday, Père Noël as he's known in some parts of the region, will head over to North Bay's event that starts at noon.
