Attending the annual Children’s Electric Christmas Parade this Saturday? Here are a few pro tips!

ROAD CLOSURES
Expect traffic and congestion around Old Town Saturday evening. Street closures begin at 4:00 PM, and the parade kicks off at 6:30 PM. Our recommendation? Arrive early if you’re planning to park in the area!

FREE SHUTTLES
Finding parking will be challenging in Old Town. The best way to get to the parade? A free Clovis Transit shuttle will be running from the Sierra Vista Mall Community Park Shuttle Stop to the Transit Center on 3rd Street from 5:00 - 8:30 PM (or later, if needed)!

ROUTE CHANGE
The parade route was adjusted last year, and there will be no parade on Clovis between Fifth and the Rodeo Grounds. Be sure to stake out a parade spot early, and avoid this area!

LIVE STREAM
Can't make it? The Community Media Access Collaborative (CMAC) will be live streaming the parade right here on our Activities & Special Events page! Be sure to tune in!
