On Saturday, December 7th the Parade of Lights is taking place and will be starting at 6:00pm. The parade route follows Stittsville Main from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer to Carleton Cathcart Street. It is expected that Main Street will close to motorists between Neil Avenue and Carleton Cathcart Street at some point between 5:30 and 5:45pm on Saturday.
There will be a flotilla of lights on the approximately 50 floats as they travel along the parade route. The Stittsville District Lions Club will be collecting food and monetary donations for the Stittsville Food Bank along the route.
If you are watching the parade near a barricaded area, please listen to the volunteer(s) manning the barricade and wearing safety vests as they are responsible for keeping motorists and residents off of Main Street during the parade time.
After the parade, make sure to visit Village Square Park to see the lighting of the park, visit with Santa, and enjoy some musical entertainment, hot chocolate and cookies.
Enjoy the parade!
I know there was a news camera person at village square park just before the parade, does anyone know what news channel it was? I’m curious to see the coverage of it, even if it’s really short, but I can’t find anything. Thanks to anyone who can help!
Hi Oak – The camera you saw was iSiLIVE of Stittsville. They were filming the parade live. If you wish to view it, this link should work: https://pres.isilive.ca/event/pol2024
Thank you so much for highlighting the importance of listening to the barricade volunteers. My kid was one of them working so hard for their volunteer hours.
We have so many young community members out here helping keep us safely where we’re supposed to be, and it’s important we respect their efforts!
It is an important part of being a barricade volunteer – people must respect them. We are fortunate to have so many youth wanting to be involved by volunteering (the backbone of every community!).
