O'Fallon Illuminated Holiday Parade

12/01/2024

Huge thank you to Derrick Lebryk at Country Financial for sponsoring our parade! We truly couldn’t have done this without his support!!!

Thank you O’Fallon for another amazing night! We couldn’t believe how many of you came out to share this evening with us! You all are incredible!!! We had hoped to be able to livestream the parade, but the technology was about as cooperative as the weather tonight- so we only got a very little bit for you. It was so cold, and the snow was so beautiful… and we made the most of it. ❤️ I have to give such a huge thanks to the OFallon Police Dept and Road Crews for taking care of the streets and our people this evening, and our parade participants that showed up brighter and better than ever! And of course, the amazing skeleton crew of volunteers! We were few but mighty.

We hope you can find the joy in this holiday season, cherish the friendship of your neighbors and the love of your community, and hold onto those you love a little tighter.

Thanks for loving us back O’Fallon.

To all a good night.

❤️ Beth and the OTown Elves 😎

It’s a cold snowy day and it’s going to be an awesome parade! Roads in O’Fallon are great thanks to our amazing City crews. Our City floats head to position soon… we’ve been out in this working for a while- layers make it plenty comfy to enjoy a parade!

Wait until you see the Christmas Monster Truck!!!

Courage&Grace huge thanks for these awesome ornaments!! With the change in the Parade after party we will be passing these out to the first 100 parade viewers. Stop by anytime tonight during the parade and get one for your tree!

Hello Friends!

The parade will roll tonight!

Please be extra cautious with your travel and be sure to play nice with others and make room for everyone on the sides of the route -as the snow may shrink the seating in some areas. Remember the new parade route and let’s help the kids with gathering the treats and keep them out of the streets.

And be sure to share the treats!

The post parade party will not be able to happen tonight due to the weather- but the parade is still on!

Thank you to all our participants for stepping up and keeping this magical parade rolling… ❤️

We are monitoring the weather and will post any updates to this page and the website. Hopefully we only get a light snow and have clear roads to all get to enjoy the amazing parade Saturday evening as planned!

Join us the Saturday after Thanksgiving and welcome in the Holiday Season and experience the magic of illuminated floats!
