A beloved tradition of the holiday season in Seguin officially begins with the Holiday Stroll Parade on Thursday, November 29th at 6:30 p.m. Area organizations, churches and businesses decorated in holiday gear will stroll through downtown Seguin spreading the holiday cheer.
Linday Hajek, Parks and Recreation Superintendent stated, “This year marks the 27th Annual Holiday Stroll, a tradition to many and we invite participants and spectators to bring their best holiday cheer and celebrate what they love best about the community. I expect this year's annual tradition to be the biggest and brightest ever! It's free and easy for businesses and organizations to participate.”
Santa will arrive in Seguin to make a special appearance in the parade and be available for photos in the bandstand after the parade. In addition to Santa, over 70 entries will feature holiday scenes and music that will get the biggest grinch in the holiday spirit and ready for the holiday season.
The floats will start at the intersection of Austin and College streets and head south towards Central Park. All entries must be lighted. The deadline for entry is quickly approaching on November 21st. Please contact Lindsay Hajek at 830-401-2480 or lindsay.hajek@seguintexas.gov to be included in the parade line-up.
Once the parade ends, the Mayor will announce the winners of the parade and the Christmas Tree Decorating Contest. Immediately following, the community is invited to stick around for the countdown to the holiday lighting of Central Park.
