Ho Ho Ho! The 37th Annual Main Street Texarkana Christmas Parade is finally back this year on Monday, December 6, in historic downtown Texarkana at 7 PM.

The magic of the holiday season comes alive when over 100 lighted entries are expected to wind down the heart of downtown Texarkana. Parade fans will line the streets to see an array of school marching bands, lighted floats, and even 3 camels leading the parade.

Street vendors will be selling a variety of unique merchandise like balloons, glow sticks, bracelets, and necklaces.

Of course, the main event is Santa Claus himself and his reindeer. Which one is Santa?

Who is that sneaking up behind me?

Last year the parade was canceled due to COVID-19, so I am certain there will be an overflow crowd this year with more floats and entries.
