RICHMOND, Va. — The Grinch is making a special trip to town before his Broadway in Richmond performance to lead off the 40th annual Dominion Energy Christmas Parade on Broad Street this Saturday, Dec. 2.
The parade, which begins at 10 a.m. and runs until noon, will run between the Science Museum of Virginia and 7th Street.
Parade Director Robert Kelly said The Grinch, who will be appearing in "Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" at the Altria Theater Dec. 12-17, is the perfect Grand Marshal for this year’s anniversary parade.
“Sharing the story of how The Grinch stole Christmas has been a time-honored tradition for decades, and there’s no better way to exemplify this year’s Joyous Christmas Traditions theme than with the Grinch himself,” Kelly said.
