Coplay Sports Inc. has canceled the annual Santa parade because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The parade, which goes back more than four decades, travels every street in the borough. Boys and girls along the parade route are given candy and small presents from Santa’s helpers. Santa and Mrs. Claus ride aboard a makeshift sleigh and pose for photos with the borough children.

Borough hall, 98 S. Fourth St., remains open to the public on weekdays. Visitors must wear masks and adhere to COVID-19 protocols.

Borough council still conducts its business and meetings via teleconferencing.

The outdoor tree lighting will not be held this year, but the public works department will have the tree lit - possibly as early as next week.

The decorated streetlights were the result of a project undertaken several years ago by a small citizens group. In addition, the community plaza at Second and Chestnut streets will also be aglow with lights and decorations for the Christmas season.
