Although the traditional Santa Parade is being cancelled for a second year, the Downtown Kingston BIA says it has COVID-friendly winter programming in store for the city.
Downtown Kingston announced Wednesday that this year’s nighttime Santa Clause Parade will not be going ahead. This is the second year in a row the parade is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The BIA said the decision was made after considerable consultation with KFL&A Public Health.
“We understand this is a beloved event; we are as disappointed as you that the event can not go forward, but we are already looking ahead to next year and making 2022’s Santa Parade the best ever,” the BIA said.
This year, Downtown Kingston says it’s been crafting new winter programming that will be COVID-friendly.
This includes a downtown holiday market, light displays, Santa’s Village, with a “version of Santa” on display 24/7 for photo opportunities, winter patios and a Window Wonderland contest for downtown businesses.
