Christmas Parade

There’s something special about Christmas in the town you grew up in — where the lights feel brighter, the cocoa tastes sweeter, and every street holds a memory. This year’s Hometown Christmas Parade is a celebration of all the little things we carry with us: the sound of high school bands playing carols, the glow of floats rolling past familiar faces, and that feeling of coming home — even if just for a night.
