Organizers of the fifth annual lighted Christmas parade are looking for small floats, marching groups, bands and individually decorated vehicles for this year’s parade.
It will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 11, at Ruxton and Manitou avenues and travel east to El Paso Boulevard.
Santa Claus has already committed to participate, so applicants are asked to not include a Santa to avoid confusing little ones. Other than that, participants are encouraged to express Manitou’s uniqueness.
Entries are free for school marching bands and first responders. Fees are $25 for individual vehicles; $35 for car clubs (limit of eight vehicles); $45 for nonprofits, service clubs and community groups; and $250 for businesses/corporations.
Entries are due Nov. 30. After that, a late fee of $25 per entry will be added.
