Holland Parade of Lights

It begins at the corner of 8th Street and Columbia Avenue and goes west on 8th Street to Holland Civic Center Place, 150 West 8th Street. Santa arrives with the lighted entries. The organizer says 2026 parade entries are full. That is the participant list, not a spectator sellout. The page does not post a spectator parking plan. Check the organizer for details.
