The date has been set: Campbell River’s beloved Big Truck Parade will happen on Nov 28th, 2025 at 4:30pm.

The parade starts in Willow Point around 5pm (at Sims Rd), and ends downtown near Spirit Square around 6pm (note the official times will be released closer to the event, and I’ll publish them here).

Once downtown, take in the Christmas Tree lighting (7pm) on Shoppers Row, soak up live music, and wander through the gingerbread house contest.

You can warm up by a fire roast in the square and enjoy extra shopping time. Many local shops are open late with holiday deals to help you get a jump on your gift list!

Parking Tip: For easier parking, try leaving your car a few blocks away and take a short walk in, as the parking at Tyee Plaza near Spirit Square will likely fill up fast.

Come early and grab dinner before the fun begins! Or grab something from local food trucks and vendors that will downtown for the event.

It’s gonna be an evening full of lights, music, and holiday magic. 🎄✨
