Pinafore Park will transform into the North Pole once again this year, as organizers prepare to host the 2021 installment of the EML Reverse Santa Claus Parade.
The St. Thomas Optimist Club, MP Karen Vecchio and MPP Jeff Yurek have team upped for the second year in a row to host “A Magical Christmas” Stationary Santa Claus Parade from December 3rd to 5th.
MP Karen Vecchio says as much as they would love to host the traditional parade down Talbot Street, the planning process does not really allow for it at this time.
With COVID-19 restrictions always changing, Vecchio says it allows for them to be as proactive as possible.
Similar to last year, the event is free to attend, with nonperishable food or monetary donations appreciated. Vecchio notes how incredible the community support was last year.
At this point in time, Vecchio says they are actively recruiting businesses, organizations and service clubs that are interested in participating in the parade.
