LINCOLN
- Lincoln’s annual Christmas Parade, hosted by the Logan County
Tourism Bureau, will look a little different this year due to COIVD.
The Christmas Cruise will be on Thursday, December 3rd, 2020 from
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm, with the theme of “Brighten Up the Streets.”
Judging will take place in the following categories: Tourism Choice,
Best Float, and Best Representation of the Theme.

This year’s event will be a drive-thru only parade
with the entries stationary on the East side of Kickapoo St.
Cruisers (spectators) will travel down Kickapoo St., turn left on
Pekin St., then left onto Chicago St. The cruise will end with Santa
greeting the cars outside the Depot/Visitor Center. You must stay in
your vehicle for the duration of the Cruise.
The Tourism Bureau is accepting entries until Wednesday, November
25th, 2020. Due to space limitations, a maximum of 50 entries will
be accepted. Each entry will have a spot of 40 ft long X 10 ft wide.
One spot per entry and one entry per participating organization. For
safety purposes, masks and gloves MUST be worn when handing out
candy to cars.

The Cruisers can begin lining up at 6:45 pm. To avoid traffic
congestion down Wyatt Ave, we are requiring the Cruisers to enter from the
back-parking lot of the High School, via Pulaski/Miller Streets. Cars will be
guided through the parking lot and released onto Wyatt a few at a time. They
will then travel down Wyatt Ave and turn right onto Kickapoo to start the Cruise
route.
