Parade Spectators
The 2017 Christmas Parade will begin at the intersection of Old Airport Rd. and HWY 25. The parade will then travel down HWY 25 and end at the Blue Sky Cafe. Spectators will have a great view of the parade from the side walk on either side of HWY 25 between the Ingles Market and the Howard Gap Rd. intersection. The Town is encouraging spectators to view the parade from the middle of the route (between Fletcher United Methodist and Garner Stereo) to help ease congestion at the beginning and end of the parade route. Please just remember, the roads close at 10 a.m. so come early to get a good seat!
