CLICK HERE FOR PARADE ENTRY FORM

This year there will be a food drive during  the parade.  Please bring a non-perishable food item to be collectec by members of our committe before the parade, along the parade route.

There will be FREE hot chocolate and cookee from 5-7pm at the Clay County Courthouse, courtesy of the Courthouse staff.  Also, trees decorated with ornaments made by our local school children will be displayed.

Each year since 1993, the "Christmas in the Park" celebration has begun with a beautiful lighted parade.  This year the Parade of Lights begins at 7:00 in front of the Courthouse on National Avenue in Brazil, and will travel from Alabama Street west to Depot Street.

There will be about 80 entries, from decorative floats, to the Northview High School Band, and many other creative ideas, all lit, and many with musical themes.  The end of the parade features, who else but Santa Claus, direct from the North Pole!

Lynn's Pharmacy is again the sponsor of this year's parade.  His store, and this historic Soda Fountain will be open during the parade, and you can stop in for hot chocolate, or an old fashioned ice cream soda!

There is no charge of any kind to see the parade; it is suggested that you bring lawn chairs, and get the best spot by 6pm, as thousands will line up to see this unique Christmas parade in downtown Brazil.

After the parade is over, Forest Park will be "lit up" at 9:20pm, after the "Gift of Christmas" Fireworks Show in the park.
