Parade of Lights provides holiday glitter

New Prague's Parade of Lights will provide a glitter and a sparkle to the start of the holidays as an array of floats make their way down Main Street beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2. The 21st annual parade, sponsored by the New Prague Chamber of Commerce, features floats decorated for the season. There will be a number of floats and vehicles participating, although last minute entries will be accepted on Friday. Businesses and community organizations from New Prague, Montgomery and the surrounding area sponsor the assortment of participants in the parade.

The Parade of Lights will begin at the corner of First Avenue NW and Main Street near Kubes Furniture and Flooring, with the parade making its way east on Main Street, ending at Memorial Park. A first place prize of Chamber bucks will be presented to the entry that shows the best overall holiday spirit.

Santa will be making his annual appearance, closing out the parade with a ride on a fire truck from the New Prague Fire Department. He’ll greet children and families at Memorial Park as the Holiday Celebration in the Park is held immediately following the parade. There will be hot chocolate and cookies from Patty’s Place and goody bags to be handed out to those who stop by for the festivities in Memorial Park. Boy Scouts from the New Prague area will provide fire rings for people to keep warm.

Santa will also be lighting the Community Christmas Tree in Memorial Park. After that, RES Specialty Pyrotechnics will close out the evening with a fireworks extravaganza. Sponsored by Scott Equipment Co., it will be the largest holiday fireworks celebration that New Prague has ever seen.
