Marine Corps veterans walk during the Greensburg Holiday Parade on Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021.

The Greensburg Holiday Parade returned this year after being canceled in 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic.

Thousands of people gathered downtown Saturday afternoon to celebrate the holiday season as floats, bands and groups from local organizations traveled along Main Street. A visit by Santa and Mrs. Claus capped off the event.

Health care workers from Westmoreland County were chosen as the parade’s grand marshals as a way to honor them for their work during the pandemic.
