Our annual evening holiday parade will include floats, dance routines, carolers, and much more, all complete with festive Christmas lights. As usual, Santa Claus will make his appearance in the parade at the very end!

Thanks to the support of WMOA, the Merry-etta Christmas Parade will be live on-air for all to enjoy via 1490 AM and 101.3 FM.

Each float will have the opportunity to submit an ad to be read live on-air during the parade so make sure to tune in and listen live!
