A spokesperson said, “The MarketPlace today announced the much-anticipated return of the traditional MarketPlace Christmas Parade to the City of Hamilton.
“After a three-year hiatus due to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2023 MarketPlace Christmas Parade will be returning to the City of Hamilton in its traditional format on Sunday, 3 December at 5pm. From 2020 to 2022, the MarketPlace organised a drive-by parade, starting from Shelly Bay MarketPlace to Heron Bay MarketPlace, prioritising community safety while keeping the festive spirit alive.”
Seth Stutzman, President of The MarketPlace group of companies, said: “The MarketPlace Christmas Parade is more than just a parade, it is a beloved tradition that creates cherished family memories. Recognising the community’s longing for the tradition, excitement and communal spirit that the parade instills, we felt it was time to bring it back to the city. We are so excited to return to the streets of Hamilton with a grand celebration to kick-off the holiday season, featuring a big surprise and much more.”
The spokesperson said, “The parade will follow its traditional route in Hamilton, including Front, Court and Church Streets. Road closure details will be announced later. Participants will include Dancesations, Gombeys, PHC Majorettes, Royal Bermuda Regiment Band, many others and, of course, Santa Claus.
