The annual Lighted Holiday Parade drew crowds to downtown Independence last night.
The parade is organized by Independence Main Street and the Optimist Club of Independence. Fifty two entries were present in this year's parade, including local first responders, businesses, churches, fraternal organizations and KGGF. Downtown stores were open yesterday afternoon and evening to encourage local holiday shopping before the parade.
Some upcoming area parades include the Caney Parade on Thursday, December 1st at 7 p.m. and the Coffeyville Parade the following day on the 2nd at 6 p.m.
You can watch the video of the parade here.
