The Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce has announced that the Holiday On Main Christmas Parade, originally scheduled for Thursday, December 4, has been postponed to Friday, December 5 due to the dangerously cold temperatures forecast for Thursday evening.
“All of the beloved parade traditions remain exactly the same,” said Erica Martin, Membership Director for the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce. “Same time, same lineup location, same festive magic – we simply want families, children, and participants to enjoy the evening safely.”
The parade will now take place on Friday, December 5, stepping off at 5:15 PM in downtown Mount Pleasant. Parade lineup will still begin at 4:15 PM behind the Mount Pleasant Public Library on Madison Street. The route will remain unchanged, traveling from Madison to Jefferson to Monroe, with the parade concluding in front of the Public Library.
“We appreciate everyone’s flexibility,” Martin added. “This event is a special tradition for our community, and we want to make sure everyone can enjoy it without the extreme weather.”
