One of the best parades in Amarillo is the annual Christmas in the City Electric Light Parade sponsored by Center City of Amarillo. Thousands of people line Polk St. on a brisk December evening to see floats, bands and marchers all covered with twinkling Christmas lights. This year's parade is December 1. Every year the Lone Star Ballet presents Amarillo with a Christmas present- a weekend of performances of The Nutcracker. 7- 9 also features the Amarillo Symphony.
