A float from a previous Lighted Christmas ParadeThe holiday season will begin with the 27th Annual Lighted Christmas Parade, "A Hometown Holiday. Past, Present, Future." The Lighted Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 7 pm. This wonderful community event is sponsored by Silver City MainStreet, the Town of Silver City, and Hidalgo Medical Services.

"We are really looking forward to seeing the interpretations of this year's theme, states Executive Director, Charmeine Wait. The future part of the theme could be Silver City 100 years from now, or the past with a territorial home decorated for the holidays. Brandy Thornburg is organizing all the floats and encourages participants to sign up early."

Brandy states, "Awards will be given immediately after the parade at the Little Toad Creek. We hope people will come in and see who wins. George Austin has agreed to be this year's photographer and we are excited about that. It is always such a wonderful event."
