The annual Holiday Starlight Parade, downtown Chattanooga’s traditional Christmas parade, will not happen this year due to lack of financial support.
Typically scheduled on the second Saturday of December, The Holiday Starlight Parade has been known as an evening parade that features lights as its main theme on entries such as floats, bands and other entries.
"Although this parade has been a staple of entertainment during the holidays downtown for over 20 years, this is not the first year that the parade has taken a hiatus due to lack of funding. It does have the potential of occurring in the future if a sponsor is found." officials said.
However, the popular MainX24 parade will be held tomorrow (Dec. 6) beginning at 10:30 a.m.as part of the 24-hour schedule of activities offered during MainX24.
