The 33rd annual Richardson Christmas Parade, under the theme “We're All Kids At Christmas,” will kick off the Richardson holiday season on Saturday, Dec. 4 at 9 a.m.

Returning to the west side of town, the parade will travel north on Coit Road from Cherrywood to Melrose. Dave Peters, the 2003 RCC Citizen of the Year, will serve as grand marshal for the event.

Sponsorship levels have been introduced to the parade this parade. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas has signed on as the title Rudolph Sponsor. A handful of other reindeer sponsorships are still available for $250.

Chamber members are especially encouraged to participate in the annual affair. Prizes are awarded in a variety of categories, including business/commercial. Gear up for the holiday season by planning your corporate entry or parade-watching party today.
