Miracles Parade officials, known as Wranglers, have announced the date and time for the 2016 MIRACLES CHRISTMAS PARADE on 34th Street. The free, family-friendly nighttime lighted parade will be held in Lubbock on Saturday, December 10, 2016, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The route is the same as last year, down 34th Street starting at Avenue Q, going west to Indiana Avenue. The parade is free for all spectators.
The theme for the 2016 parade is “Lights Fantastic”, according to parade chairman Scott Scarborough of Tom’s Tree Place. Scarborough is one of the volunteer Wranglers who plan and stage the parade every year. The purpose and goal of the parade is to bring cheer to every spectator, participant, and organizer, and to provide families and individuals an event that will build lasting holiday memories.
Attendance at this year’s parade is expected to run well over 30,000 people. Santa Claus will be on the last parade float and is always the special guest for the Miracles Parade each year.
The 2016 parade is the 12th consecutive year the free parade has been planned for the children and families of the Lubbock-South Plains Region.
