Lighted Christmas Parade

Established in 1991, MainStreet’s Lighted Christmas Parade kicks off the Silver City Holiday Season the Saturday after Thanksgiving. With over 12,000 spectators, the parade is an impressive display of lighted floats and entries. The parade route begins at the Grant County Courthouse, proceeds down Broadway, and heads north on Bullard, ending at Gough Park. Following the parade there is an Awards Reception to honor the top entries in each category.
