Downtown Parade of Lights
Thursday, Dec. 5 @ Downtown Athens
Marching bands, local businesses and other community groups will take to the streets alongside decorated floats during the annual Parade of Lights. Interpreting this year’s theme of “Home for the Holidays,” participants will compete for the titles of “Most Original Float,” “Best Use of Theme,” “Best Use of Lights” and best overall “Mayor’s Award.” Following the same route as last year, the parade kicks off at the corner of Hancock Avenue and Pulaski Street, turns left onto Clayton, left onto Thomas and then rounds the corner onto Washington, where festivities culminate in front of City Hall with a traditional tree-lighting ceremony led by none other than Santa and Mrs. Claus.
