More than 50 entries will participate in Racine's Downtown Holiday Parade on Saturday, Nov. 10.
In addition to Santa Claus and his elves, lighted floats and marching bands, the Downtown Racine Corporation parade will feature a live nativity scene complete with a camel, three wise men and Mary on a donkey.
Darth Vader, the Milwaukee Brewers Sausages, Downtown’s Mr. Bear, the Racine Kilties and the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies also join the parade.
Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa which will be picked up along the parade route by Racine postal carriers. All letters will be hand-delivered directly to Santa. Children are reminded to put their return address on their letter as Santa has promised that he will personally answer every letter he receives!
The parade begins at 5:30 p.m. on Main and State Streets, progresses south along Main Street and then heads west on Sixth Street to City Hall.
Following the parade, the Community Christmas Tree will be lighted in Monument Square. The tree is sponsored by Gene Johnson, and the parade by Modine Manufacturing.
This year’s tree is a 35 ft. pine tree donated by Sharon Wood of Racine. The tree was planted in 1977 by Sharon and her husband, David, as the final touch for their new home, and graced the family’s yard for 30 years. The tree is being donated in memory of David Wood, who died in 2004.
