PETERSBURG, Va. (WWBT) - The COVID-19 pandemic isnât getting in the way of Petersburg celebrating Christmas in a modified and safe way this year.
Spectators will still be able to enjoy the holiday cheer of a parade, just in reverse. The Christmas displays will stay in place while spectators will drive by them. You can also enjoy a special music selection on 87.9 FM as you drive by.
âThis year has looked very different for everyone, but the Holiday season is always worth celebrating even if itâs in an altered format,â said Petersburg Mayor Sam Parham. âWeâre excited to have this unique celebration in our community, and I hope everyone enjoys it this weekend!â
