Christmas Festival Parade details

December 9th | 6pm

PARADE ROUTE

The parade begins at Liberty Hill Elementary School, travels down Main Street, and ends at Noble Elementary School.

SCHEDULE

4pm – 4:30 pm – Floats arrive at the Liberty Hill Elementary school and line up.

4:30 – 5pm – Parents drop off their children at Liberty Hill Elementary.

5:20 pm – MANDATORY safety meeting at the front registration table. Each group must send one representative.

6:00 pm – Parade Begins. 

7:30 pm – Parade Ends.

7:30-ish pm – Each float should arrange for parents to pick up their children at Noble Elementary School after the parade. Parents must park at Foundation Park and walk over to the school. Only parade vehicles will be allowed at Noble.

Parade times are fluid based on the number of participants, so we encourage you to have some sort of communication available to let parents know when you arrive. A responsible adult must remain at the arranged location until all children have been picked up.

Be sure to communicate the drop-off/pick-up procedures with all participants on your float and have a method of communication to let parents know when your float arrives at Noble Elementary. Please note that for safety reasons, NO ONE will be allowed to ride on an open float once you reach Noble. Everyone must be picked up there, with the exception of equestrian groups.
