The 40th Annual Grand Illumination Parade
Saturday, November 21, 2026
This year's theme is Ruby Radiance, celebrating the brilliance, warmth, and energy that represent this beloved regional tradition for its 40th anniversary. Inspired by the richness of jewel tones and the glow of illuminated streets, participants are encouraged to interpret radiance in creative ways, including color, movement, texture, and light. Let your imagination shine, your organization sparkle, and capture the magic of a truly dazzling milestone celebration.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for last year’s parade! Relive the magic by watching the 2025 livestream on our Youtube channel.
