Oskaloosa Main Street is going ahead with plans for this year’s Lighted Christmas Parade on December 5.  Main Street Director Jessica Reuter says this year’s parade will be in a reverse format.

“That doesn’t mean it goes backwards.  What it means is that the floats and displays will be set up Downtown and they will be stationary, while the spectators will be able to drive through the Downtown on a designated route and admire the floats and displays from the warmth and comfort of their vehicles.”

Reuter says the decision to change the parade format was because of continuing coronavirus concerns. A parade route has yet to be determined.
