“As the representative of the Oceanfront, I’m proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Holiday Parade at the Beach,” Councilman Worth Remick said. “This cherished event is a beloved tradition that brings our community together, lighting up our streets with joy and holiday spirit. I have fond memories of biking alongside friends and family during the ‘bike nights’ of the Holiday Lights and the Beach, and there’s nothing quite like seeing our community come together to share in the magic of the season. This parade is a celebration of togetherness, tradition, and the vibrant spirit that makes Virginia Beach so special. I look forward to seeing everyone out there, creating new memories and celebrating the holidays with us.”
