The annual Starlight Parade is back for the 61st year on Saturday, December 6. Guests can enjoy the festivities as a variety of floats, marching bands, dance troupes and other community groups hit Third Avenue from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Before the parade starts, attendees can grab something to eat from local vendors at the Holiday Market on Park Way next to Memorial Park or even do some light gift shopping! Make sure to arrive early to see the official tree lighting in the heart of Third Avenue at 5:45 p.m. and enjoy live music ahead of the main event.
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and low-profile chairs to get a comfortable view of the parade that draws thousands every year!
