💡 Lighting Reminder
It’s dark during our parade — and that’s on purpose! 🌌
Please remember to add plenty of lights when decorating your float, vehicle, or unit so you shine bright for the crowd.

There is only ONE Santa and ONE Mrs. Claus, who will appear in the official parade and at the Rotary Amphitheater following the event.
Please refrain from using Santa or Mrs. Claus costumes in your lineup.
