[October 23, 2015]   LINCOLN - Lincoln’s annual Christmas Parade will be held in downtown Lincoln on Thursday, December 3, at 6:30 p.m. “A Candy Land Christmas” is the theme for this year’s parade.

Since Main Street Lincoln closed its doors at the end of last year, the popular Christmas Parade was left without someone to spearhead the planning of the event. The Logan County Alliance decided to take on the responsibility of running the event in order to keep the long-standing tradition alive. The Logan County Alliance is eager to get started. “When I learned the Chamber planned the Christmas Parade for many years prior to Main Street, it just felt right that we would take it back under our umbrella. I am very excited to be planning this year’s parade. The Christmas Parade is a tradition I have always enjoyed since I was a kid so it is something that is very near and dear to my heart,” said Cara Barr, Events Coordinator for the Logan County Alliance.

The Grand Marshal for the 2015 Christmas Parade will be chosen by the community. The Alliance is asking community members to nominate (via survey) the person they want to receive the honor of presiding over this tradition in Lincoln. The survey link is https://docs.google.com/ forms/d/1fs_TX3m3J0qQgYnkJV4OUo0GK3-3qnpqwWJ-LmNZ2NM/viewform  and can be found on our website www.lincolnillinois.com  under the ‘Events’ section.

All entries must be decorated in a Christmas theme and comply with the parade regulations found on the entry form and on the Alliance website. For safety purposes, all entries will be required to be lighted. For those who do not have lights, glow necklaces can be purchased from the Logan County Alliance office beginning November 2, 2015.

The evening parade will feature lighted floats, decorated vehicles, antique cars, tractors, and more. There is no charge to enter and cash prizes will be awarded. The Logan County Alliance is accepting entries from businesses, industry, governmental agencies, schools, civic and not-for-profit groups, and religious, youth, and charitable organizations.

Interested participants may access the entry form at www.lincolnillinois.com , call [phone], or email [e-mail]  for an entry form or further information.
