The unofficial Steveston Santa Parade is back for a third year running on Christmas Eve.
Organized by Alex Sagert and his Steveston Sound and Stage business, the “moving display” as it was billed last year, kicks off around 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 24 on Sixth Avenue and Hunt Street and Hunt and end at Garry Point Park.
As was the case last year, Sagert and Steveston Sound and Stage will have a truck and trailer decked out with lights, a Santa decoration and Christmas music, which will slowly wind its way through Steveston for a couple of hours (see the route map).
Sagert will be collection donations for the Richmond Food Bank along the way.
Sagert said last year that he decided to put on the event in honour of the original Steveston Santa Claus Parade, which is not taking place again this year.
