Downtown Fort Worth will sparkle once again as the 43rd annual GM Financial Parade of Lights illuminates the city at 6 p.m. on Sunday, November 23, marking the official kickoff to the holiday season. The beloved event draws thousands of families and visitors each year for a night of festive music, dazzling floats and holiday cheer.

This year’s theme, “Sparkle, Dazzle, Shine!”, promises inventive float designs, enhanced lighting and interactive features along the 1.59-mile route. More than 100 entries—including marching bands, antique cars and horse-drawn carriages—will parade through downtown, culminating with the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus on a spectacular new finale float.

Chris Cassidy, retired U.S. Navy SEAL, NASA astronaut and current president and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, will serve as this year’s Grand Marshal.

Attendance is free, reserved Street Seats start at $15.75 and are available now.
