\n
The 2020 Kennebecasis Valley Santa Claus Parade has been cancelled due to COVID-19.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
New Brunswick Public Health has recommended against holding any activities that encourage people to gather in large crowds. That guideline put an end to the traditional parade, which normally attracts thousands of people along the Hampton Road.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are disappointed that Santa Claus won\u2019t be coming to town this year,\u201d said Quispamsis Mayor Gary Clark. \u201cThe safety of our residents is our top priority. Holding a parade during a pandemic violates all physical-distancing guidelines. It is just not practical this year.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
This year would have been the 22nd annual parade, which is jointly organized by the Kennebecasis Valley towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe parade is an important part of the holiday season for the citizens of our town,\u201d said Rothesay Mayor Nancy Grant. \u201cWe are saddened we are not able to proceed with a parade this year, but we cannot go against the provincial government\u2019s pandemic protocols.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The article on the cancellation of the 2020 Kennebecasis Valley Santa Claus Parade was first featured on the Town of Rothesay and Town of Quispamsis’s Facebook pages.<\/div>\n
