About the West Alabama Christmas Parade...
The West Alabama Christmas Parade, a free community event, is usually held the first Monday in December and includes 150 decorated floats, vehicles, bands and performers from the area. The evening kicks off at 5:15 p.m. with the community tree lighting ceremony on the steps of the Tuscaloosa County Courthouse a
nd is followed by the parade at 6:30 p.m. The parade is led by Grand Marshals selected for their commitment to the community and Santa Claus appears as the grand finale for approximately 20,000 spectators on the streets of downtown Tuscaloosa. Businesses, schools, civic organizations and other groups may enter the parade for a nominal fee and may also choose to enter the decorations contest. Awards are given for the best decorated entries in several categories and an overall winner is selected. The parade has a theme each year and participating entries are asked to decorate according to the theme.
