According to organisers, an estimated 40,000 people packed downtown Victoria for the annual Santa light parade last night.“It was the biggest we have ever had,” said Kelly Kurta, the general manager of the Greater Victoria Festival Society. “It’s the largest in western Canada.”Kurta says they received 84 separate entries this year.“So many people wanted an opportunity to join in the parade.”The usual count for the event comes in at around 30,000 people but she thinks it was closer to 40,000 this year.Kurta wouldn't give up who the society thinks won the best float distinction but did say they would release the winner in the next couple of days.

It was pretty packed downtown. We decided to skip any of the downtown Starbucks for our post-parade hot chocolates and went to the one @ Gorge and Tillicum. We were the only ones in there.
As usual, BC Transit was running late causing a large gap towards the end of the parade

Any Douglas buses' schedules were definitely affected by the parade traffic downtown. Traffic was hardly moving from Hillside in at 5pm.

Why would a family event be immune from the ****hole that downtown has become?

Plenty of time and effort go into decorating the entries in the annual Island Equipment Owners Association Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive, like the dump truck and equipment trailer being transformed in his friend’s garage by Mark Volk and a team of volunteers all this week and last.
Volk, who runs H. Volk Transport, is president of the association and an enthusiastic participant in the popular event, which returns to Greater Victoria streets on Saturday.
