After a long winter’s nap, a very jolly spectacle will once again hit the streets of downtown Little Rock this Saturday, Dec. 6, at 3 p.m.
The Big Little Rock Holiday Parade, formerly the Big Jingle Jubilee, will bring floats, musicians, marchers and more will now trek down West Markham Street (then President Clinton Ave.) beginning at Broadway and concluding near the Museum of Discovery.
The theme of this year’s parade is all things Candy Cane to “capture the playful spirit of the holidays.” Pop-up festivities will also take place along the route before and after the parade, including photos with Santa at the Statehouse Convention Center from 2-5:30 p.m.

As is tradition, the event will conclude with the annual lighting of the State Capitol, complete with intricate light displays and fireworks. The ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. with the lighting at 6:15 p.m.
And if one parade just isn’t enough, this Saturday also brings the So Southwest Christmas Parade on Geyer Springs Road, the Ferndale Country Christmas Parade and the Maumelle Christmas Parade, as well as the North Little Rock Elks Christmas Parade on Dec. 14.
