A small dusting of snow and temperatures around the freezing mark was still not enough to stop crowds lining downtown sidewalks late Sunday afternoon for the 43rd annual Santa Claus Parade.

The annual event, which started around 4pm, marshalled south of 2nd Avenue and St. Paul Street before heading off.

From there, the floats then rolled their way down Victoria to crowds of hundreds across each street corner.

The event is put on annually by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

Previously a daytime event, officials with Downtown Kamloops shifted the parade to an evening activity 2019.

It was cancelled the following year due to pandemic, but returned in 2022.
