With the holidays just around the corner, what better way to get in the holiday spirit than to watch the parades! 

The first parade was on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2019. 

The parade took route at 10 a.m on Montana Avenue to Copia Street, taking two hours to complete its journey. 

This year’s theme was Bobbleheads.

Different floats were able to be seen at the parade such as an El Paso Electric Company float, monster trucks, and an “El Paso Strong” float. 

The Christmas Parade and lighting of the Christmas lights took place on November 23. 

The parade took place at San Jacinto Plaza and was a spectacular sight to behold with its colorful lights, marching bands, and amazing floats.
