Reverse Christmas Parade

Friday, December 4, 2026, 6:30 - 8 p.m.

WHERE: N. Business Route 5, Camdenton, MO 65020

Come out for a magical night full of lights, joy, and holiday spirit. It's a sparkling twist on a holiday tradition!

What to expect:

• Decorate your float: Cars, trucks, trailers, vans, boats - whatever you've got - LIGHT IT UP with as many Christmas lights and decorations that you can find
• A REVERSE PARADE EXPERIENCE: Instead of floats moving past the audience, YOUR FLOAT STAYS PARKED in the center turn lane while THE AUDIENCE DRIVES BY
• FUN FOR EVERYONE: Bring your holiday cheer and make it SHINE!

What are the benefits of a reverse parade?

• SAFETY: No risk of children running into the street, allows for natural social distancing, and reduces crowd congestion
• BETTER VISIBILITY: Guests will be able to enjoy the floats at their own pace from the warmth and comfort of their own vehicle - no need to find a good spot!
• WEATHER-PROOF: Rain, snow, and/or chilly winds won't stop the fun! Everyone stays cozy, warm, and dry.
• EASY SET-UP: Just park, decorate, and shine!

Who is invited to participate? EVERYONE! Bring your community organization, school team, best friend, mom and dad, bible study group, etc., and set up the Christmas float of your dreams to show off to the community.
