Romeoville's Holiday Parade Steps Off Dec. 6

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Romeoville's Festival of Lights Holiday Parade will kick off all things festive at 4 p.m. on Dec. 6.

According to the Village, the parade will depart from Fire Station No. 3. You can watch and wave to Santa as he follows his route to the Winter Wonderland at 1050 W. Romeo Road. Find his exact route on the Village website, and there will also be a Santa tracker.

Romeoville Public Works is also holding a "Guess the Glow" contest this year, where kids ages 2-12 can watch the holiday parade and guess how many lights were used on all the floats and vehicles in the parade.

The floats will be on display at the Winter Wonderland, so you can get an even closer look before you submit your guess, according to the Village.

The closest guess by one boy and one girl in each age range will win a bicycle. Guesses must be submitted by midnight on Dec. 7.
