About this event

The day after Thanksgiving, Elkhorn Avenue trades ordinary traffic for holiday lights. Catch the Glow returns Friday, November 27, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., with more than 40 parade entries, including handmade floats, marching bands, fire trucks and specialty vehicles. Come downtown earlier to browse the shops and enjoy the afternoon's Santa activities, then find a spot along Elkhorn Avenue for the parade. Admission is free. The organizer has not listed an end time.
