Victoria’s iconic holiday truck parade is back!
The 27th annual Island Equipment Owners Association (IEOA) Truck Parade and Food Drive returns this Saturday, December 6th to deliver holiday magic across Victoria.
Over 80 hardworking commercial trucks have been cleaned, polished, and decorated with festive lights to bring holiday cheer and support local food banks.
Since its launch, IEOA has collected 176,000 pounds of much-needed food and raised $114,700 to support local food banks.
They encourage all spectators who can to join them by donating to food banks across Victoria. To make it easy, they’ve provided a full list on their website of food bank drop-off locations, as well as how you can contribute online.
The parade starts at 5 p.m. at Ogden Point, slowly rolling along a 35 km route, through five municipalities in Greater Victoria, and into Royal Bay for the grand finale at about 8 p.m.
Check out the map below for the full route, or track the parade in live time here!
You’ll spot everything from dump trucks and crane rigs to fire trucks, mixer trucks, Coast Guard vessels, and even military and transit vehicles—all lit up and riding in full festive glow!
Don’t miss this opportunity to kick off the holiday season with one of Victoria’s brightest traditions—and help support local families while you’re at it!
