Cloverdale's Santa Parade of Lights will be on Sunday December 4 2011 starting at 5pm and lasting until about 6:30pm depending on where you're standing on the route.
The parade starts at the parking lot in the Cloverdale Fairgrounds on 60th Avenue and 176A Street. It goes down 176A Street and then turns west down 58A Avenue to 176th Street and proceeds along there. I think it ends at 57th Avenue and they head west up to the Cloverdale Bypass. I know I see the vehicles whipping as fast as they can go along the bypass back to the fairgrounds.
As for weather conditions - I've been out there in pretty bitter cold wind. The only time the parade was cancelled was when it snowed a few years ago. We still wandered down but clearly nothing was happening.
The parade features a lot of trucks that come over from Vancouver Island brightly decorated in Christmas lights. A lot of local business are in the parade too with decorated cars and trucks and last year there were some horses from Fraser Downs that participated.
There will be various vendors set up along the parade route and in Hawthorne Square on 176th selling food like hot dogs and hot chocolate.
They'll be collecting donations for the Surrey Food Bank and the Christmas Bureau so remember to bring some non perishable food items with you if you're planning to attend.
