Hundreds lined the streets along 53rd, Franklin and 49th to catch a glimpse of the 5 p.m. procession. Although the theme this year was SA国际影视传媒淩ock nSA国际影视传媒 Roll Christmas,SA国际影视传媒 this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 entries had a wide variety of themes and styles: These included an Irish-themed procession flying four-leaf clovers, a North Shore Towing float hauling a Peanuts-themed display, and a bucket truck from Northview Utilities adorned with Christmas lights.

Of course, trailing the procession in a sleigh headed by a team of reindeer was Santa Claus, himself.

This yearSA国际影视传媒檚 event was a return to a traditional parade after 2020SA国际影视传媒檚 modified event: last year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, attendees had to drive by a stationary parade in their vehicles. Because of the heavy traffic, and frigid temperatures that forced participants to pack it in right on schedule, many residents werenSA国际影视传媒檛 able to catch a glimpse of the floats that night.
