COVID-compliant Christmas parade happening this weekend in Old Towne


PETERSBURG - Last year, hundreds attended the first Old Towne Christmas festival which included a traditional parade.
Other than scarves to stay warm, the only face coverings worn were by the Grinch, Santa, and some crazy Minions. I also remember mingling with Darth Vader and some stormtroopers in attendance.
Since we re in the middle of a pandemic, a covid-conscious drive-thru style Christmas parade will take place this year on Saturday, Dec. 19 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in Downtown Petersburg. 
“This year has looked very different for everyone, but the Holiday season is always worth celebrating even if it’s in an altered format,” said Petersburg Mayor, Sam Parham. “We’re excited to have this unique celebration in our community, and I hope everyone enjoys it this weekend!”  ....

PETERSBURG, Va. (WWBT) - The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t 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.
“This year has looked very different for everyone, but the Holiday season is always worth celebrating even if it’s in an altered format,” said Petersburg Mayor Sam Parham. “We’re excited to have this unique celebration in our community, and I hope everyone enjoys it this weekend!” ....
