The parade, starting at 6pm on Cortez Street and led by Santa, will showcase over 40 brightly lit floats and music from local school marching bands. 

The fun continues at Mile High Middle School from 7:00 to 8:30pm with the Bonfire Festival, featuring live music, reindeer games for the kids, and visits with Santa. 

Attendees can also enjoy a close-up view of the illuminated floats, which will be parked on the field. 

The Prescott and Bradshaw High School marching bands will perform during the bonfire.
