Christmas Parade followed by the Lighting of the Lights
4:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Join us for our annual Christmas Parade!

Our Theme this year is Christmas Memories! We are encouraging one and all to create floats based on this year’s theme. They can be pulled by mule, horse, tractor, auto, or anything you can think of. We will also have plenty of non-floats in the parade as well. Applications will be forthcoming.

So get together with your church, organization, business, or family & friends and register to take part in this time honored tradition. The parade will start at the American Legion Hall and travel North up Bond and West on Grand. Parade participants are to be at the American Legion hall by 2:30 for line-up and judging.

Santa Clause will be making an appearance as well!

After the parade join us for the lighting of the lights in song as we light up this year’s tree and start the Christmas Season in Whitewright.
