Christmas Parade

Anonymous

As someone fairly new to Victoria—and to British Columbia—I can’t overstate how weird (and great) the truck parade is as an outsider. There’s something so, incredibly surreal (and great) about seeing the same cement mixer that pours the foundations of new buildings, or the snow plough that keeps people moving on the rare snowy days, now decked out with fog machines, tinsel, and being driven by the Grinch.

I don’t know how it started but I love it. I hope Victoria never stops celebrating with a truck-based Christmas parade.
