A rainy night couldn’t wash away the smiles on the faces of children and adults alike as they took to the streets of downtown Lake Cowichan for the annual Santa Claus Parade, followed by food, fun and activities.
One of the most popular stops was a chance to get photos with Santa, while folks from Country Grocer gave out free hot dogs.
The huge tree in front of the Lake Cowichan Visitor Centre was also lit for the season.
