Santa Train will take place around the Square, beginning around 4:00 PM.

For as long as the Santa Train has been carrying children around the Town Square or Courthouse, MonticelloLive has sponsored the annual event.

This year was no exception, as the Santa Train set the stage for the annual Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade.

As a way of giving back to the community that supports us, MonticelloLive again helped the Junior Auxiliary with their annual Christmas Toy Drive, this year, by donating six children’s bicycles.

This Christmas, a few of the employees of Belle View Rehabilitation and Care Center began decorating the halls as a means of spreading Christmas cheer with the elders. Soon, it became a full-fledged contest, and the elders have absolutely loved it.

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,
