Downtown Fort Worth will host the 42nd annual Parade of Lights on Sunday, Nov. 24. The parade’s theme this year will be “Holiday Wishes” and is set to feature millions of sparkling lights, over 100 illuminated floats, balloons and giant inflatables, and live holiday performances. The 1.59-mile parade route winds through downtown Fort Worth and ends with the traditional return of Santa and Mrs. Claus on the parade’s last float. Tens of thousands of North Texans attend the annual event, so here are some tips from organizers on how to best enjoy the festivities: Purchase reserved “Street Seats” before arriving on the website fortworthparadeoflights.org. Arrive early. There’s plenty to do in Sundance Square before the parade including music, shopping, dining and grabbing some photos of the holiday decor. Be aware of street closures. The full list of street closures and times can be seen here. Know the parade route so you don’t miss a thing. Public transportation will be operating on the day of the parade if needed. Operating schedules and more information can be found on the Trinity Metro website. Can’t make it to the parade? There are ways to watch at home.
