Tonight -- Monday, December 3, 2007 -- Staunton's annual Christmas parade will begin at 7:00 p.m.
The theme of this year's parade is "Holiday Sparkle" ... and sparkle it will in historic downtown Staunton as Christmas lights twinkle in storefronts as the parade passes by on Beverley Street.
This is always a popular parade with the streets crowded four-deep as people, young and old alike, line up to watch the float entries of local churches, businesses, and civic groups, and to hear local high school bands and wave to friends in the parade.
The parade will begin on Augusta Street near the fire station, turn left onto Frederick Street for one block, turn right onto Market Street for one block, and then turn right onto Beverley Street which is where most of the crowd will be waiting. It will follow Beverley Street to Trinity Church.
Get there early to save a spot for the kids on the curb and bundle up because it's supposed to be cold tonight. Afterwards, the local restaurants such as Shenandoah Pizza and the Byers Street Bistro will offer a warm haven for hot chocolate or a late supper.
Enjoy!
