Crowds filled the streets along Belmont Shore’s Second Street at the Winter Village Christmas event Saturday evening. The event replaced a traditional parade that takes place on the busy shopping strip. Guests were treated to live musical performances from local high schools, arts and crafts opportunities for the kids as well as the chance to take photos with Santa Claus.<\/p>\n
