Downtown Washington, Inc. kicks off the Christmas season in Washington, Missouri, with its Holiday Parade of Lights on the evening after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 27, from 6 to 7 p.m. More than 70 lit floats, antique cars, bands and walking groups travel the historic riverfront downtown streets. At the end of the parade, Santa Claus joins the crowd for the lighting of the Christmas tree at the corner of Main and Elm Streets. It is a good outing for families in Franklin County and the western suburbs; bundle up, since you will be standing along the route after dark. Questions go to Downtown Washington, Inc. at (636) 239-1743 or info@downtownwashmo.org.
