This Saturday, the Truck Light Parade will be rolling through Victoria and Langford to collect food bank donations and deliver Christmas cheer.
The annual event is put on by the Island Equipment Owners Association (IEOA).
Starting at the Breakwater District at 5:40 pm, the parade of decorated trucks will travel along Dallas Road and do a loop through Oak Bay before turning left onto Fort Street.
Then, it will travel along Yates Street, then Blanshard and Belleville. Finally, the route will take them onto Douglas, through downtown and will arrive in the West Shore at about 8:30 pm.
There will be traffic disruptions and CCTV camera deployment in downtown Victoria for the event. There will be traffic delays and temporary intersection closures along the parade route.
The VicPD reminds people that drones are not permitted in the downtown core or the Inner Harbour, due to it being an active flight zone for float planes and helicopters.
