KBJR 6 to televise the 2020 Christmas City of the North Parade

In a year where very little has been normal, KBJR's 2020 Christmas City of the North Parade will bring a sense of normalcy back to the Northland.  Airing on 11/20 at 6:30 pm, the parade route has moved from Superior Street with Fitger's as a backdrop to Harbor Drive with the iconic William A. Irvin as the backdrop. Floats and vehicles will line up near the DECC and be filmed by KBJR as they pass by the Irvin.  To maintain social distancing, some bands and dance groups have been pre-recorded, but this has allowed the KBJR 6 production crew to enhance the production value of the parade as a whole, giving viewers an up close look at these groups. 

KBJR 6 General Manager David Jensch says, "Producing the parade is the highest point of the year for many of us at KBJR 6. It's been complicated figuring out the new logistics, but we think this will be the best parade yet." 

KBJR 6 established COVID-mitigation techniques (masks, etc.) for the parade participants.  The parade will be produced for TV only, with no spectators allowed.  People will still have access to Pier B and the Decc.  KBJR 6 will re-broadcast the parade on Christmas Day at 11:00 am.
