The Dickens Lighted Parade is the official start of the festival and holiday season in Holly. Dozens of local people and organizations participate, filling the sights and sounds of Downtown Holly with amazing floats, music, dance, and more.
The parade lines up in the parking lot of the VFW on Airport Road in Holly, then heads down Saginaw Street towards Downtown, then onto Civic Drive where the tree lighting ceremony takes place, followed by a very special visit from Father Christmas himself: Santa Claus!
