The event, held in historic downtown Texarkana, will feature marching bands, creative floats, vintage vehicles, and the much-anticipated arrival of Santa Claus.
The theme for this year’s parade is “Celebrating Texarkana,” reflecting the numerous milestone anniversaries occurring throughout the year, according to Ina McDowell, Executive Director of Main Street Texarkana. “Main Street Texarkana is celebrating our 20th year, and it’s exciting to celebrate alongside so many others,” McDowell said.
Among the significant anniversaries being recognized are the Texarkana Public Library and Texarkana, Texas City Hall, both celebrating their 100th year.
Twitty Nursery also marks a century, while the Texarkana Gazette commemorates its 150th anniversary.
Parade participants are encouraged to incorporate these milestones into their floats and celebrate the rich history of Texarkana.
“The parade reflects the spirit, creativity, and community pride that make Texarkana special,” added McDowell. “We are looking forward to the amazing floats we will see!”
This free, family-friendly celebration that highlights the community’s spirit and the historic charm of the area will take place Monday, December 1, at 7 p.m.
