No entry fee is required, but if interested in being in the parade, text or leave a message at 325-200-1276.

At the conclusion of the parade, there will be a live nativity presented by Bangs First Baptist Church. Once the live nativity is over, Santa will arrive at the big pavilion at city park (not the ball fields) for photos. You must bring your own camera. Free cookies and refreshments will be served.
