Belize’s radio powerhouse, Love FM held their third annual Christmas parade throughout the streets of San Pedro Town on Sunday December 8th. The event started from the Boca del Rio Park and eventually made its way to Central Park.
Having begun three years ago as a small motorcade during of the establishment’s annual 12 Days of Christmas on the island, the parade in San Pedro Town is beginning to grow. It is one of two Christmas parades sponsored by Love FM; the next will be held in Belize City.
The lights, music and the merry makers dancing along the streets was all that was needed to spark up the Christmas feeling on the island. Several organizations, residents and establishments decorated their vehicles and floats and joined in the parade. At the front of the parade was the San Pedro Fire Department’s shinny red truck with Santa Claus riding on top. All through the streets of the town, Santa waved and shared candy with residents that had lined up on the street sides. Volunteer elves and other Santas rode on a variety of floats and carts, distributing goodies to the children and bringing many smiles to those in attendance.
