This year Jeffersontown celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Gaslight Festival. One event epitomizes the annual festival: The Gaslight Parade. Not only do more than 10,000 people come out to watch the annual parade, but hundreds of locals from the Jeffersontown community participate in it each year. They come from local businesses, companies, schools, churches, organizations, scout troops, ball teams and special groups. They drive floats and tractors, mustangs and corvettes, fire trucks, police cars, army jeeps, motorcycles, bikes and antique cars. They walk in groups and teams, march in bands, dance, skate, ride in convertibles and on horseback, lead cheers, play music and more.
