Oskaloosa’s Main Street Lighted Christmas Parade is Saturday night (12/5) from 6 to 8 pm.  Because of coronavirus concerns, you’ll be driving around the parade route to see all the floats and lights.  Oskaloosa Main Street Director Jessica Reuter tells us the parade route.

“The route starts on High Avenue, and you’ll enter on to that from North 11th.  So you’ll drive all the way down there and then you’ll start heading west toward the square and that’s where the route will start.  There will be Police officers and traffic directors motioning you along.  When you get up to the square, you’ll take a left as you’re viewing all the floats, and then you’ll take another left and come down on 1st Avenue and you’ll just continue east to exit the route.  So it will be one long, sideways U-shape.”

Reuter says you won’t be allowed to walk along the parade route.  She also says it’s exciting to be able to have some form of a Christmas Parade despite COVID-19.
