Christmas is COMING!

The holiday season will be here before you know it!

Hop in the Christmas Time Machine!

This year’s Lighted Christmas Parade theme is “Christmas Time Machine” and we can’t wait to see where you take us!

 

On Friday, November 28, downtown Highland will shine with floats and costumes from every era of Christmas. Will you head back to Dickens’ London, relive a retro 1980s holiday, or rocket forward to Christmas in the year 3025? Or maybe you’ll build a time machine of your own and whisk us through the ages.

 

Parade sign-ups are now open! 

Please download the form and return it by Nov 20.
