DoAbilene! calendar: Annual downtown lighted parade Tuesday evening
It's already under a month to Christmas, and time for City Sidewalks in Abilene.
The city tree was lighted Monday evening, so the stage is set for the downtown celebration that begins at 5:30 p.m. with musical performances. The annual lighted parade begins at 6:30 p.m. and winds a familiar route on Pine and Cypress streets.
Parade theme is "A Polar Wonderland," though Tuesday's high temperature in Abilene is forecast to be 72 degrees before a cold front blows after downtown events are done. The parade is the biggest of the year in Abilene.
