The SaltWire Holiday Parade of Lights, presented by Eastlink

11/20/2021

With a parade comes a little bit of traffic.

We're masking up, dressing warm and getting ready to celebrate the holiday season's kick off in HRM.

That kick off is, of course, the SaltWire Holiday Parade of Lights, presented by Eastlink.

And as we do, the Halifax Regional Police are asking folks to use caution, and take their time, as they navigate the following street closures:

Road closures on Nov. 20 will begin at 3:30 p.m., and will reopen once the parade has passed. Affected streets include:
* Upper Water Street
* Barrington Street overpass to Spring Garden Road
* Spring Garden Road to Queen Street
* Queen Street to Morris Street
* University Avenue to Robie Street, and
* Robie Street to Spring Garden Road.
