Hi Wendy! Thank you very much for pointing out the difference. I’d copied the info directly from the CP site, so they must have changed the schedule. I’ve updated my post, but do check back on the CP site before you go to make sure the timing hasn’t changed again!

That first weekend in December is huge here in Mississippi Mills. On Friday night is Light Up The Night, an awesome concert and fireworks show, Saturday is the Pakenham parade and Sunday is the Almonte parade (which you have listed).
