The parade will leave the fairgrounds to head downtown at 6pm, so make sure to arrive early to secure your perfect viewing spot. While you wait for the parade to begin, indulge in some delicious treats from our awesome food trucks and soak up the festive atmosphere and additional holiday activities. Of course don’t forget to keep an eye out for Santa Claus himself, who will be making a grand entrance to spread holiday cheer. This is an event you won’t want to miss, so mark your calendars and join us for a night of joy and wonder!
