Don’t miss more than 130 entries – from fanciful floats to fire trucks, unicycles to vintage cars, dancing Honey Bears to dignitaries, from Santa’s helpers to the big man himself. Head to downtown Bastrop, Texas, on Dec.9 for this annual parade. This joyful tradition literally lights up the Bastrop Lost Pines Christmas festivities. The parade begins at dusk (approximately 6 p.m.) and will head south down Main Street.
