Holiday parade lights up La Grande Nov. 27

LA GRANDE — Bundle up and get into the holiday spirit on Nov. 27 with the annual Holiday Parade of Lights. Hosted by La Grande Main Street Downtown, the theme of the 2026 parade is Candy Cane Lane, according to Mary Ann Miesner, chair of the organization’s promotions committee. The primary sponsor this year is Spokane Teachers Credit Union. “We’re optimistic that we’ll have a good parade this year,” Miesner said. Residents and visitors are encouraged to attend and celebrate the season while supporting local makers and merchants. The parade will run down Adams Avenue starting at 6 p.m. beginning at Hemlock Street and ending at Fourth Street. Santa and Mrs. Claus will make their traditional appearance and bring up the rear of the parade. The jolly couple will then stop at Max Square where Santa will light up the Christmas tree. Both Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be available for a meet-and-greet. Following the parade, community members can enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and sing Christmas carols.
