Victoria’s Lighted Christmas Parade is reversed no more.
The parade will return to downtown 6-9 p.m. Dec. 4, giving residents a chance to gaze in-person at lighted floats, car and motorcycle clubs, marching bands and more as they kick off the holiday season. The parade also will be livestreamed on Facebook at City of Victoria, Texas – Government.
“While we were glad to be able to offer the parade in a modified format last year, we know many residents will be looking forward to the traditional experience of coming downtown to see the parade,” said Parks & Recreation Director Jason Alfaro. “We hope residents will join us for this celebration, whether in person or through livestream.”
Parks & Recreation is seeking food and merchandise vendors and floats for the parade. To sign up for the parade or register as a vendor, visit www.victoriatx.gov/registration. Applications are due Nov. 19.
