The 2025 Christmas Parade of Lights is almost here (Friday, Dec. 5th), and we want all participants to arrive safely, smoothly, and in the right place. Please review the map below for lineup locations, parking options, and the full parade route.
Here are the key details:

🎅 PARADE BEGINS AT 6:00 PM
🚒 FLOATS, CARS & FIRETRUCKS
• Enter lineup from the upper Historic Loop.
• From Hwy 62/W. Van Buren, head toward the Crescent Hotel, then turn left down Spring St. (Ellis Grade).
• All riders must already be on your float before you arrive — no drop-offs permitted near lineup once staging begins.
• Your judging number is NOT your position in the parade; it’s only for judges.
👟 WALKERS, BANDS & DANCE GROUPS
• Drop off walkers at the top of Crescent Drive (near St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church).
• Do not drive down Crescent Drive — walkers and bands will be lining up at the bottom.
• Arrange a pickup spot downtown after the parade (Courthouse parking lot recommended).
• Judging numbers are for identification only.
🎅 We have already heard from the North Pole that Santa will be ending the parade, so please, no other Santas.
