Although the annual Optimist Club Santa Claus Parade was halted as a result of COVID-19, the group has teamed up with our local politicians to help keep the holiday spirit alive.
Jeff Yurek, Karen Vecchio, and the Optimist Club of St. Thomas with guidance from Southwestern Public Health and the support of the City of St. Thomas, are preparing to host a 2020-modified holiday parade that will take place in Pinafore Park.
The COVID friendly celebration, known as the EML Reverse Holiday Parade will take place over 3 days on December 4th, 5th, and 6th from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Local businesses, organizations, or clubs that would like to take part in the Reverse Holiday Parade can sign up here.
