SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. – The City of Springfield is excited to host the Springfield Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 2, at 6:00 p.m. Local resident and Fox 17 News anchor Jennifer Waddell will be the parade grand marshal.

The lighted Christmas Parade provides businesses, schools, bands, and organizations the opportunity to showcase their community spirit and holiday joy by preparing a float or driving in a decorated vehicle. Participants are encouraged to embrace this year’s “Winter Wonderland” theme through music, dress, and decorations.
