Clearlake Christmas Parade canceled due to coronavirus
The city of Clearlake said it has consulted with the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce, the sponsor of the 2020 Clearlake Christmas Parade, and made the joint determination to cancel the parade due to the impact of the coronavirus on the planning of the parade and the risk of spreading infection among the audience and participants.
The parade is traditionally held on the first Saturday of December and is one of the most anticipated and attended events of the year.
With the increase in COVID-19 cases both statewide and locally, the decision was made to postpone the parade until the event can be staged safely.
“We are sad that we have to cancel this annual community tradition, but we make the health and safety of our volunteers, staff and parade partners a priority,” City Manager Alan Flora stated. “We look forward to 2021 and hopefully a return to holding community events bigger and better than ever.”
