Fredericksburg will celebrate the holiday season with its Light the Night Christmas Parade at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3.

The cost per reserved and designated bleacher seat with access to the adjacent restroom and hand-washing station, is $18.

The parade is presented by H-E-B and produced by the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce.

In case of inclement weather, the parade will be rescheduled for Friday, Dec. 10

The parade will wind its way up and down Main Street and is again expected to feature more than 130 entries including bands, floats, animals and more.

The entire parade route along Main Street between Washington and Edison Streets is available for free seating on a first come-first serve basis. Attendees should bring folding chairs and blankets.

Reserved bleacher seating is available for the parade, and offers the first chance to see the entries as they roll by.

As in the past, the first 30 minutes of the parade will be broadcast live on CBS Austin (KEYE).

AfterGlow

In most years, AfterGlow activities take place following the parade. With the threat of COVID-19, chamber officials aren’t sure whether that portion of the event will occur.

Santa and Mrs. Claus Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for pictures following the parade, beginning at 8 a.m. in the Peppermint Platz area of the Adelsverein Halle. There will also be a children’s activity area.
