The parade theme is “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Festivities will begin at 3:30pm in downtown Douglas at Atkinson Plaza with Music on Main Street until 5:30pm. The sounds of music will be heard throughout downtown, beginning with Amber Gilliard at 3:30pm and “Voices of Harvest” from Harvest Renewal Worship Center will perform until 5:30pm. At 6:00pm, crowds will cheer runners along the parade route as the South Georgia Track Club’s Christmas Parade 5K Run takes place.
