About 30,000 people lined the streets of downtown Victoria during last year’s Island Farms Santa’s Light Parade and this year is expected to be no different.
The 38th annual parade, taking place Saturday has about 70 entries and all of them have some sort of light element.
“We try and bring in new and exciting entries, we try and step up the entries,” said Kelly Kurta, executive director of the Greater Victoria Festival Society. “We work with a lot of our participants in that to change things, to do something a little different every year.”
CHEK News will be providing live coverage of the parade starting at 5 p.m. on TV, Facebook and YouTube.
