Fort Madison, IA — The Fort Madison Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that the 33rd annual Parade of Lights will take place on Friday, November 28th at 6:30 PM in downtown Fort Madison.
The community is invited to join us for this festive event, which promises to bring holiday cheer to all attendees. The parade will feature beautifully decorated floats that will illuminate Avenue G as they make their way west from 5th Street to 10th Street. The Parade of Lights will also be livestreamed on the Fort Madison Chamber Facebook page.
Important Parking Notice: To ensure the safety of participants and spectators, there will be no parking allowed on Avenue G from 10th Street to 5th Street starting that afternoon and from 5th Street to 3rd Street all day. Please plan accordingly and make use of alternative parking areas. Avenue G will be closed from 11th -5th Street as well as 9th-10th on Avenue F and 10th Street from Avenues E to G that evening.
After the parade, the floats will proceed up 10th Street and into Central Park, where they will remain on display until the end of December. This provides a wonderful opportunity for families to enjoy the holiday decorations throughout the season. Please remember that these floats are for viewing only, do not touch, sit on, or climb on any of the displays.
We want to give a huge shoutout to David Fedler and Savanna Collier for working countless hours to ensure that these floats are parade ready! Thank you to everyone who has helped during the float work nights.
We are in need of drivers to help us pull floats that night. If you have a side by side, four-wheeler, golf cart or other ATV and are willing to help, please reach out to Savanna at 319-372-5471.
We look forward to seeing the community come together for this joyous event. Let’s kick off the holiday season with a night of lights and festive spirit!
