Sidney is gearing up for its highly anticipated Sparkles Holiday Parade, a festive celebration set to light up downtown on December 8 at 5 p.m. Hosted by the Peninsula Celebrations Society, this annual event promises an enchanting evening filled with holiday cheer, including vibrant Christmas lights, dazzling floats, lively music, dance performances, and, of course, a special appearance by Santa Claus himself.
The parade will take over Beacon Avenue, the heart of Sidney’s downtown area, attracting thousands of spectators from across the region. It’s a family-friendly occasion that will transform the streets into a winter wonderland, making it a perfect outing for all ages.
To ensure the event runs smoothly and safely, traffic control measures will be in place. Key intersections, including Ocean Avenue and 5th Street, 7th Street and Beacon Avenue, and Bevan Avenue, will be managed by local authorities. There will also be provisions for emergency vehicle access if necessary.
For those planning to use public transportation, temporary bus detours and alternate stops will be set up to accommodate changes to regular routes during the parade.
After the parade, if you’re still in the holiday spirit, don’t miss the Peninsula Celebrations Society’s next event: the annual Polar Bear Dip at Glass Beach on January 1, starting at 12 p.m. It’s another chance to join in the festive fun!
The Sidney Sparkles Holiday Parade is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season, and it’s an event you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable evening of festive cheer!
