<div>The 2024 Amelia County Christmas Parade will be held this year on Saturday, Dec. 7. This year’s theme is “Christmas at the Movies.” The parade will begin at 4 p.m., forming up on Wayside Avenue and the VDOT access road, then following the traditional route west on Goodes Bridge Road (Bus. Rt. 360), turning left onto Amelia Street, then right on Church Street and left onto Washington Street and left onto Virginia Street before disbanding at the former Wells Fargo Bank building’s parking lot. Commonwealth Real Estate Co. and The Amelia Bulletin Monitor will again sponsor the parade. “Parade participants are reminded candy cannot be thrown from vehicles and parade units. This is a safety measure and the prohibition is a condition of the insurance provider. This will stop children from darting out into the street in front of vehicles to pick up candy. Walkers should accompany the vehicles and hand out candy instead, said parade co-chairman Diana Morris.“Santa Claus is scheduled to participate in the parade and will be on hand afterward on the courthouse steps to hear children’s Christmas wishes firsthand and have photos taken. First, Santa, the grand marshal(s) and Helen Warriner-Burke, the 2024 Amelia County Christmas Mother, will light the county’s Christmas tree in the square. Parade winners will be announced and awards distributed at this time as well. Entry fees for the Christmas parade help cover expenses such as insurance, trophies, banners and signage. An entry form for the event can be found below. </div>
