Florence Christmas Parade

The theme of this year’s parade is “Joy to the World.”

Joy to the World is a the most published Christmas hymn in North America. It is a Christmas carol written in the 1700s. The song is based on an interpretation of Psalm 98, Psalm 96:11 and 12, and Genesis 3:17-18.

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday Dec. 18. The parade usually heads down West Evans Street toward downtown and ends at the intersection of East Evans and N.B. Baroody Street.
