Parade

A San Angelo Christmas Tradition

Lights of Christmas Parade

 

Saturday, December 5th

6:00 p.m. • Historic Downtown San Angelo

Experience the Magic of Christmas

Experience the magic of the holiday season at one of San Angelo’s most beloved traditions—the Lights of Christmas Parade in historic downtown San Angelo! This dazzling nighttime parade features nearly 100 participants, including brilliantly lit floats, decorated vehicles, marching groups, and community organizations showcasing their holiday spirit.

Every float glows with creativity and festive charm, transforming downtown into a sparkling wonderland. Families line the streets each year to enjoy this cheerful celebration, making it a true community favorite and a highlight of the Christmas season.

Join the Tradition

Parade Participant Information

The parade has grown every year since its beginning almost 33 years ago, so we hope you will help keep the tradition going. Start planning your entry and invite your friends to join in the fun with an entry of their own.

There is no entry fee.

Participation is open to individuals, churches, businesses, organizations, clubs, and schools.

Unfortunately, the time has come to set up new rules for our parade. Over the years, our event has grown more than we could ever have imagined and it has been an awesome experience. However, we have outgrown what is manageable for our staff, the SAPD members who assist us, and the endurance of our spectators.

Please Read Before Entering

Parade Rules

Parade Limited to 85 Entries
An entry with multiple vehicles is counted as one entry.
Entries With a Float
Entries with a float will be limited to 6 (six) additional vehicles. Eight vehicles counting float and towing vehicle.
Car Clubs
Car clubs with vehicles only will be limited to 8 (eight) vehicles.
ALL Vehicles MUST Be Decorated With Lights
The only exception is the vehicle towing a float. This will be strictly enforced and vehicles that are not lighted will be pulled out of line. Running lights do not count.
Walking Groups
Walking groups are encouraged to wear some sort of lights, if possible, but it is not mandatory.
Please No Excessive Noise
We have had numerous complaints about the sounds of revving vehicle engines frightening children. This is a parade for the enjoyment of spectators, not for showing off horsepower.
No Candy Will Be Thrown From Vehicles
You may have people walking with your float to hand out candy.
