The Parade of Lights brings all the joy of the holiday season to Downtown Fort Worth through a caravan of well-lit floats. Think 100 illuminated floats with 500,000 lights over a 1.5 mile parade route for you and your family to enjoy each November. The parade has taken place annually for 36 years, beginning in 1983 it has been a tradition for families in the Fort Worth area ever since.

Make your way to your seat early and look out for the Cowboy Santas at 5:30 p.m. They will travel the route collecting toys for kids in need and you can help fill the truck with your donation! As you wait for the parade to begin at 6:00pm, indulge in some hot chocolate and delicious food. Don’t leave early, though, because rumor has it, Santa will be there to close out the parade lineup! Mark your calendar and don’t miss out on a bright and merry event in Downtown Fort Worth.

This event typically takes place in late November.
