What: Christmas Parade
When: Saturday, December 10th
Time: 6:30 pm
Where: Weslaco Chamber parking lot
The City of Weslaco, Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce and the Weslaco EDC are preparing for the 22nd Annual Mid-Valley Lighted Christmas Parade, set to be held on Saturday December 10, at 6:30 p.m. on Texas Blvd in Weslaco. This year, the parade will be held in conjunction with the RGV Santa Dash, presented by Mid Valley Events. The RGV Santa Dash will kick off the parade at 5 pm and will feature hundreds of participants in Santa suits running down Texas Blvd. With the success of the first Santa Dash held last year in Weslaco, it was a logical choice to combine the two events and give parade spectators a chance to cheer on the Santa runners and walkers.
