Hometowne Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting

Christmas Around the World!

Christmas.  Navidad.  Kersfees.  Weihnachten. Shengdan.  Noel.  Sparks is getting a whole lot bigger this holiday season as we celebrate Christmas traditions from all over the world in our Annual Hometowne Christmas Parade.  Christmas is different all over the world whether you’re building a snowman out of snow in Sparks or sand in Australia.  Find a tradition to represent on your float and make it a good one.

Early registration is happening now!  Thinking about Christmas in the summer may be annoying, but these spots are going to fill up fast, so reserve your space in this year’s parade while you still can!
