It’s Christmas time in Milano as the city’s annual parade is set for Saturday. Line up for parade participants is at 9:30 a.m. at the Milano ISD football field parking lot. The parade will kick off at 10:30 a.m. and head from the football field, under the viaduct and through the downtown area, ending at the Milano Civic Center.
This year’s event won’t have any theme or divisions, or plaques given out. It will be an opportunity to have a wonderful time spreading Christmas cheer in the community. So build your float, decorate your vehicle, dress up your pet and help spread the spirit of Christmas and goodwill toward all—all while social distancing, of course.
The annual community meal following the parade was canceled for this year.
BAZAAR—Once you watch the parade, head over to the Milano Christmas Bazaar which will be set up outside next to the civic center. The new event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and stop during the parade.
