Due to Weather: 41st Annual Texarkana Christmas Parade Rescheduled

Main Street Texarkana announced late Saturday night that the 41st Annual Christmas Parade in downtown Texarkana will now take place Monday, December 15 at 7 PM. The postponement of the parade comes after forecasts called for inclement weather tonight, December 1, the original date, prompting organizers to make a careful decision with community safety in mind.

This was definitely a good call to make as the forecast is calling for still a chance of rain throughout the day and into the early evening, with an overnight low of 26 tonight.
