Come enjoy the Parade of Lights in Huron on Friday night as it makes its way around and through the fairgrounds!

A few special notes...
1️⃣Keep your eyes peeled for the State Fair float; we'll be bringing the carnival to 'Christmas at the North Pole'.
2️⃣The Nordby Exhibit Hall lobby and restrooms will be open at 6:30 pm on Friday for parade goers to use, and will remain open through the end of the parade. Hot chocolate will also be served while supplies last!

This year, the route will look a little different due to safety concerns with the Dakota Ave project!

Parade officially begins at Market and Lincoln Ave. The floats will proceed South down Lincoln Avenue to 3rd Street, then East on 3rd to Nevada, North on Nevada to Gate 4 (Grandstand Way). Exit to the west after the last entry has passed start or to the North on Livestock Ave.

If you plan to attend, please check out the Parade of Lights event page, https://www.facebook.com/events/1344304203620803

We hope to see you all there for a fun night to get you in the Christmas Spirit! 🎄🎅
