Rain won’t stop Santa Claus from coming to Langley this weekend.
Regardless of weather, the City’s annual Magic of Christmas Parade is happening this Saturday, Dec. 1 in downtown Langley.

City councillor Paul Albrecht has been the co-chair of the organizing committee for four years and said the event “really sets the holiday spirit for me.”
“It seems to bring people together in a very fun and rewarding way, generates a true feeling of caring and giving, as well as provides an event for all people of all ages to enjoy and participate in.”
The all-day event kicks off with a Santa Claus breakfast at Douglas Recreation Centre at 20550 Douglas Cres., from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Cost is $10 per person, and children under three are free.
Pre-registration is required by calling 604-514-2940 or registering online at https://ca.apm.activecommunities.com/langleycityrecconnect/Activity_Search/breakfast-with-santa/7726
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the whole family is invited to McBurney Plaza at 20518 Fraser Hwy. for holiday entertainment and crafts.
At 6 p.m., a Christmas parade with more than 40 festive floats, bands, decorated vehicles, dancers, and community groups will start at Fraser Highway and 56th Ave., travel east along Fraser Hwy., and finish at Fraser Hwy. and 207th St.
And the night ends with the Mayor and Council lighting up the Christmas tree at McBurney Plaza, followed by hot chocolate and caroling.
