Our Parade of Lights returns for its second year, bringing vibrant holiday spirit to downtown Port Coquitlam! As the first event of its kind in the Tri-Cities, the Parade of Lights showcases a procession of City vehicles, community organizations, local businesses, and walking groups — all decorated in festive lights. Plus, Santa Claus will make a special appearance! 🎅⭐
“The Parade of Lights is quickly becoming a much-loved part of the holiday season, and this year will be even bigger and better,” said Mayor Brad West. “As families, friends, and neighbours come together, it's a chance to connect, celebrate the Christmas spirit, and enjoy our downtown.”
Join us for more festive fun before and after the parade!
