Parade attendees are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to help make Christmas a little brighter for children in the communities of Arcadia, Atlanta and Cicero who may not otherwise have much under their tree. Santa’s elves will be present along the parade route to help collect toys to add to Santa’s sack of toys. Toy donations can also be dropped off at Erika’s, Cicero Market, Cicero Fire Department, Arcadia Town Hall, Key Bank and the Hamilton North Public Library. All toys received will be wrapped and given out to these children in the at the annual King’s Treasure Christmas Party.
