Monticello’s 28^th Annual Christmas Parade will be held on Tuesday, November 29, beginning at 6:00 pm.    The theme of our parade is “Carols of Christmas” .

Each float entry will be selecting their favorite Christmas carol and then decorating their entry to look depict that song. Also, each entry will have music playing and sparkling Christmas lights to add to the excitement of the evening.  Miss Arkansas will be joining us and serving as our parade marshal.

A special “Christmas Train” will be offering rides all around the town square beginning at 4:30 pm.  Each child will also be given holiday treats and countless opportunities for some outstanding photo opportunities.

This popular event simply would not be possible without our Christmas Parade sponsors.  In an effort to help recognize our event sponsors, the chamber will be posting names of our sponsoring individuals and businesses all around our town square.   We invite each of you to join in helping to sponsor another “Carols of Christmas” Parade night here in Monticello.

Suggested sponsorship levels are $600.00 and $250.00.

Thank you,
