A press release detailed that due to higher than normal advance registration for the Parade of Lights Sponsored by Prosperity Bank, parade registration has closed early.
Seeing unprecedented numbers of registration for this annual Odessa Christmas tradition, Downtown Odessa, Inc. has reportedly made the difficult choice to close registration, effective immediately. For the first time in the event’s modern history, no onsite registration will be available to organizations that already have some vehicles registered or for those that failed to register prior to 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The Parade of Lights begins at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 at the corner of 23rd St. and Andrews Highway.
In addition to the parade, the following events will be going on in conjunction on Dec. 4: The Winterfest Market (Texas Ave. from 3rd St to 5th St.) from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. featuring food trucks, over 50 vendors, a DJ, and children’s activities; Odessa YMCA’s Jingle Bell Jog beginning at 6 p.m. at 23rd and Andrews Highway; and a Holiday Mini Pop shopping event hosted by Pop Spot inside of Dee’s Bistro (622 N. Lee Ave.) from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Registration for the 2022 Parade of Lights will begin on October 1, 2022.
