This year’s parade theme will be “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” On Saturday, December 3rd, festivities will begin at 3:30pm in downtown Douglas at Atkinson Plaza with Music on Main Street until 5:30pm. At 6:00pm, the 5K Run and Walk will begin along the parade route. The Annual Festival of Lights Parade will light up Peterson Avenue at 6:30pm and make its way from the Courthouse to the Pre-K Academy.
“We hope to have more entries this year since we have this beloved song as the theme for the Parade,” says Georgia Henderson, Central Services Director. “Douglas is sure to see creative floats of all types that are inspired by partridges, dancing, and the Christmas season.”
