Santa’s fans were out in force for this year’s edition of the Magic of Christmas parade in Langley City on Saturday night.
Festivities began in McBurney Plaza in the late afternoon, where an ice sculptor crafted a castle of snow and kids took part in arts and crafts. A full choir sang carols to entertain those gathering.
The main event began at 6 p.m. as the parade rolled down Fraser Highway from 204th Street to 207th Street.

The weather cooperated too, with the rain ending not long before the festivities began.
