The Charleston Christmas parade is set to roll this Saturday afternoon (Dec. 13) at 5 p.m., according to Mayor Sedrick Smith Sr.
The theme of this year’s parade is “Christmas Time in the City.”
Lineup of floats and other entries will begin at 3 p.m. at the former National Guard armory on South Cossar Avenue.
First-, second- and third-place trophies will be presented to best-judged floats, and other awards will be given.
The parade is sponsored by the city.
Anyone may enter a float or other parade entry. There is no fee, but all persons are asked to contact Charleston City Hall to be added to a list of participants.
For more information about the parade, contact City Clerk Vanisha Powell or Deputy Clerk Felisha Porter at 662-647-5841.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the parade would begin at 5:30. It is scheduled to start at 5.
