A lighted night Street Parade. Sit back and enjoy the wonders of the Melbourne area as we bring the hometown feeling of Christmas to you. There will be locally made and designed floats from girls scout and boy scout groups, local businesses, churches, and other local community groups. We will have bands, ROTC groups, dance teams and much more.
Oh and don't forget Santa.
He will be arriving on a 55ft float with Mrs. Claus and their beautiful reindeer.
FOOD & TOY DRIVE
Spectators are invited to join in the spirit of giving. Just bring a non perishable food item or a new unwrapped toy or a bag of dog or cat food to the parade.
