Children’s Electric Christmas Parade

Thanks to everyone for making this year’s parade a success. Special thanks to all of our Great Sponsors. Save the date for 2024…December 7, 2024. See you all there.

The Children’s Electric Christmas Parade is a community event that we put on for our neighbors, not a fundraiser. Without the support of our community, we would not be able to spread holiday cheer to families in our area.

A big thank you to the Clovis Veterans Memorial District which has again committed to the top parade sponsorship.
