Niles Festival of Lights Parade Info

I have finally received the information for the Niles Holiday Festival of Lights Parade. The parade will be on Friday November 25th starting at 6:30pm     and will last about an hour.  We are unit number 49 and will stage/line up in the Sullivan Underpass (please see map below) I’d like everyone to meet at 6:00pm in this lot.  Parking is usually challenging during this event, so please plan on extra time to park far away and walk to the lot.

This is a great community event and is always lots of fun.  The theme is Festival of Lights, so lets see if we can go with that theme and do it Boy Scout Style.  If you have a battery powered camping light (the ones you carry), or the small headlights you wear on your head, or small decorative lights you can wear or carry, let’s bring those. We will have our banner and we will need two scouts to carry and two more to carry our flags. It is always cold during this event, so make sure you bundle up.Unfortunately if it is cold, our scout uniforms won’t be seen.

Please review the attachments. Participants in the parade are no longer allowed to pass out throw items into the crowd. What a bummer, that was one of the fun parts.

The staging information on where to line up is included along with a map.   Please let me know if you are planning in joining in the fun.

This is a great family event, so bring out the whole family to walk.  Wagons work great for the younger siblings, if they get tired they can hop right in.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

See you on Friday,
Ruth Dalton
