Theme: "Christmas Movies"
This year, we’re bringing the magic of the big screen to Main Street! Floats should be decorated to celebrate beloved holiday films—from timeless classics like It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story to modern favorites like Elf, The Polar Express, or The Grinch.
Participants are encouraged to:
- Recreate iconic scenes or characters from their chosen movie.
- Use props, lights, costumes, and music or soundtracks to bring the story to life.
- Incorporate holiday colors, festive decorations, and creative details that make your float instantly recognizable as your chosen Christmas film.
- Add people in costume or themed attire to make your float interactive and full of cheer!
Route
The parade will follow the traditional Homecoming Parade Route, starting at St. Francois Avenue, proceeding to West Main Street, then to Rinke Street, and concluding at the High School via Stone Street. Participants will line up along Westwind and Davis Court.
Special Attractions
Santa Claus will be available for photos and visits with children before and after the parade. Before he is at Leadington Plaza, and after, you'll find him on the patio next to Four Towns Brewing Co.
Participation and Prizes
There is no entry fee to participate in the parade. Float prizes include:
- First Place: $200 cash, a collectible snow globe (valued at $150).
- Second Place: $150 cash
- Third Place: $100 cash
Winners will be announced to the media immediately following the parade, with prizes awarded on Monday, December 15, 2025.
