Tens of thousands of spectators will gather to celebrate the parade which this year features special Grand Marshals Bert & Ernie of public television's Sesame Street fame, who will lead the parade. Santa Claus finishes the parade with his official arrival.
The parade includes floats, balloons, novelty units, marching units, and brightly decorated cars carrying community dignitaries.The parade relies on dozens of community members from across the Valley who traditionally join in the fun, including families, neighborhoods, organizations, companies, service groups, and individuals who want to prepare a festive presentation and appear in the parade. The result is a festive, hometown parade to ring-in the holidays.
The Parade officially steps off on the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 27th, at 6:30 p.m.
This year's parade begins at 3rd Street, and snakes its way south on Mill Avenue to 7th Street, where it heads west through Centerpoint Plaza, the site of the District's official 50-foot tall holiday tree. Then proceeding north on Maple Street, the parade ends at 5th and Maple.
The parade is open free to the public for viewing on Friday night. Mill Avenue is well known for its tree-lined sidewalks, which take on the enchantment of lighting during the holidays.
