CITY MANAGER ROY RODRIGUEZ The City of McAllen announced the lead step-off band for this year’s McAllen Holiday Parade, presented by H-E-B and powered by Bert Ogden & Fiesta Dealerships, will once again be the U.S. Air Force Parade Element Honor Guard and Drill Team, the premier U.S. military marching and drill team element, adding precision from a unit that performs in parades and celebrations around the world. Also returning to serve as celebrity hosts are popular television personalities, producers, actors and two-time MHP veteran Mario Lopez and Julián Gil.
The McAllen Holiday Parade, presented by H-E-B , is the largest illuminated and helium balloon holiday parade in Texas and uses 15 miles of rope light, which generates 1,875,000 lumens of light to properly illuminate the parade and 44,500 cubic feet of helium to keep those giant balloons afloat and is powered by 12,000 horsepower by over 50 trucks from Bert Ogden & Fiesta Dealerships.
