The Truck Light Parade is back to illuminate Greater Victoria this Saturday when trucks decorated in festive lights roll through the region.
starting at around 5:40 p.m., meaning those who can’t make it in person can enjoy the show from home.“The truck drivers, especially, this is how they can give back to the community. They all work hard, long days, and this is their way of giving back and showing their holiday spirit.”
“There’s a lot of excitement. Kids of all ages love to see the trucks, and there are lots of lights and sounds and music. The decorations are just amazing. It’s a fun way for the community to get together and participate however they can. It’s also just a chance to be together,” she said. When COVID-19 pandemic restrictions put the breaks on things two years ago, organizers off-roaded and, thankfully, the community spirit was still alive — which is most important, considering the event is all for a good cause.
Food donations will start to accumulate during the convoy at Oak Bay Municipal Hall, the Sands Reception Centre in Colwood, and at Langford’s Light-Up event at Veterans Memorial Park, according to parade organizers.
