3 Parade of Lights

December 10

Memorial Avenue

The streets of Thunder Bay will be alight once again with the 23rd annual Parade of Lights in support of local youth and children with special needs. On December 10, dozens of brightly coloured trucks, floats, and parade participants will pass through their usual route (beginning on Main Street and continuing down Memorial Avenue, Queen Street, and Fort William Road) starting at 7 pm. Designated parade volunteers in highvisibility vests will be collecting donations towards local autism and special needs organizations and charities; last year, over $39,000 was raised! There will also be a sensory-friendly zone along Fort William Road for those who wish to enjoy the lights without the loud sounds of truck horns. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of Santa!
