The holidays are not complete without a parade, but one Southern Indiana town has taken its holiday parade, now in its second year, to the next level, and you're invited!

This Indiana Holiday Parade Happens In the Dark

Registration is currently open for the Second Annual Newburgh Holiday Light Parade. Yes, you read that correctly - a Holiday Light Parade. Unlike traditional parades that take place in broad daylight, this parade in Newburgh, Indiana happens after dark!

Christmas Lights and Glow Sticks, Oh My!

While the parade is in the dark, as the name implies, lights are required for all entries. Whether you have a float decked out with Christmas lights, or a walking group with glowsticks, lights are required to participate.
