It was a street parade, without the street. In lieu of the traditional Christmas Island Style street parade on San Marco Blvd., the group held a reverse or static parade on Saturday evening. The floats and exhibits stood still in the parking lot at Veterans’ Community Park, and the community members who wanted to see them drove slowly through the assemblage, staying safely in their own vehicles. Some cars came back around for a repeat.
While it couldn’t match the magnitude or the outpouring of spirit generated by the usual street parade, the static version drew hundreds or thousands of spectators, with a steady line of cars taking in the tableaux, decorated emergency vehicles, musical entertainment and of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus.
