PEORIA, Ill. — Many area events have been canceled this year due to COVID-19, but Peoria’s 133rd Santa Clause Parade won’t be one of them.
Peoria Area Community Events, the parade’s organizer, said in a Facebook post that safety restrictions will be in place, such as wearing facial coverings and social distancing. Candy will not be handed out due to COVID.
PACE’ website said the Santa Claus parade will step off at 10:15 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 27.
“Over 85 units of costumed characters, novelty walking units, horse units and decorated floats will surely get you in the holiday spirit and certainly delight the children along the route,” the PACE website said.
