🎄 PARADE NEWS, NOTES, AND REMINDERS
The return of the Christmas on the LaHave Parade of Lights, presented by Rhyno's Heating, Refrigeration and Plumbing and Nature's Reflections Landscaping Ltd., is this Saturday night!
With the excitement of the kick off to the Bridgewater Shines Festive Season just a few days away, we wanted to share a couple of reminders and useful info for folks!
✅ Parade route: NSCC to Empire Street to King Street, beginning at 6 p.m. For a map, you can visit www.explorebridgewater.ca/shines.
✅ Forecast: Currently mostly clear, but cool with wind. Dress for the weather!
✅ Portable washrooms located at: NSCC, Empire near Bridgewater Memorial Arena, on King Street near Old Bridge.
✅ Pre-parade entertainment: We're excited that musicians Danny Banfield and Steve Dicks will be walking the parade route between 5 and 6 p.m. to provide some pre-show entertainment for folks!
✅ Pre-parade collection: If you have food bank donations, the members of the Park View Panthers Ladies' basketball team will be out collecting. Canada Post will be picking up letters for Santa. The Health Services Foundation will be collecting donations toward the Brighter Days South Shore Regional Hospital expansion campaign.
✅ Fireworks: Weather permitting, there will be a fireworks display following the parade visible from the Old Bridge area of the downtown at the conclusion of the parade. We strongly advise those with pets or with personal light and noise sensitivities to take steps to minimize the impact of the display.
We are keeping an eye on the forecast as winds may impact whether fireworks can safely happen. If the wind is too strong, fireworks will take place the next possible night at the discretion and availability of Bridgewater Fire Department.
Any changes to plans for the fireworks resulting from weather will be published via the Town's social media on parade day.
✅ The parade will be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person via the Town's page.
