The annual Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade make up date is this Saturday.

The parade was originally scheduled for last Friday, November 27th, but had to be pushed to this Saturday, December 5th, due to last weekends ice storm.

“The Christmas Parade is going to be held Saturday evening at 5:30 pm. So the time stays the same it’s just the date is different, and the weather is a lot different as of the forecast that I saw lately, partly sunny sky’s on Saturday and 54 degrees for a high. I’ll take that over ice and rain any day,” said Mark Ediger, Parade Coordinator.

Ediger did mention that they did lose a few of this years entries due to the move, but they are still expecting over 50 entries.

The parade will kick off from the Junction City High School parking lot, make its way to 6th street where it will head east and end in Heritage Park. Following the parade Santa Claus will help flip the switch that turns on the lights in Heritage Park.
