Public service announcement: It has been brought to our attention that small light up toys were handed out to children at the parade by one of the floats and may not be safe for young children as the small batteries may be swallowed. Please ensure these are not played with or accessible to young children.

The twenty fifth year of the Light Up Bedford parade is in the books! Thank you to all the amazing people who came out this evening to see the parade (and Santa!). Thank you for all of your generous donations to Feed NS and the Q104 toy drive.

We absolutely could not do this parade each year without the incredible support of our sponsors Dexter Construction, Huestis Insurance Group, ACCESS STORAGE, Q104 FM, Halifax Regional Municipality and Clayton Developments Limited

THANK YOU!!!!

A friendly reminder to take any garbage from beverages from the hot spots or snack wrappers either with you or place in a garbage bin.

Tyler, Jeff and the NOVA Injury Law team will be hosting parade goers at 1475 Bedford Highway in the parking lot. They have hot chocolate and tunes for anyone who pops by!

For those not able to make it to the parade, we are offering a live stream on YouTube so that you can take in all the festivities from the comfort of your own home. Make sure to like and subscribe our channel!
