The 35th annual Holbrook Parade of Lights will usher in the holiday season at 6 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 3. This year’s theme, Christmas Around the World, will come to life in lights and décor as residents and visitors line the streets to view the parade.
This year’s grand marshals will be Holbrook’s Man and Woman of the Year, Brian Reid and Nicole Young. The city will be honoring these individuals for their commitment to their community and dedication to serving others. Area organizations, businesses, school groups, churches, clubs, agencies and individuals are welcome to enter the parade, free of charge. Entries may include floats, vehicles, equestrian, marching band, walkers and dancers.
Holbrook’s electric light parade is a tradition that provides a spirited kickoff to the holiday season for the community. Spectators line the city’s main thoroughfares, Hopi Drive and Navajo Blvd., for the yearly event, which will begin on West Florida Street then travel west to Navajo Blvd., before going south to Hopi Drive where it will turn west to 12th Avenue. This event is sponsored by the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce.

To add to the holiday festivities, the Annual Festival of Trees will be held this Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 1- 3, also with the theme Christmas Around the World. This annual spectacular display of holiday celebration is sponsored by a coalition of Holbrook churches, hosted at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 1127 Helen Ave.
