(UPDATE) THE LIGHTED CHRISTMAS PARADE HAS BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.
Another Le Mars holiday tradition will be held Saturday night, when the annual Christmas Lighted Parade takes place along Central Avenue starting at 6pm. Joel Johnson, who has coordinated the parade for the past seven years, told KLEM the tradition was started in the 90’s.
Those showcasing their floats in the parade will arrive at 5pm to line-up; residents do not have to register or pay a fee to be a part of the parade. The route starts at 8th Street South and continues along Central Avenue, ending at 1st Street South. Johnson says he looks forward to seeing new and creative floats each year.
Johnson says the parade is a great way for the community to come together during the holidays.
The parade itself will start at 6pm tomorrow night; for those participating in the parade, line-up will start at 5pm.
