Allen Park Lighted Christmas Parade
The Allen Park Lighted Christmas Parade is a long standing tradition. The parade is always the Friday before Thanksgiving. The parade route is from the Allen Park Historical House to the Allen Park Community Center. The student will be bused from the high school to the Allen Park Historical House for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. From there, march the parade route. Afterward, students will be bused from the AP Community Center to the high school.
Students will wear their marching band uniforms. Based on the weather, students may want to wear thermals. In addition, traditionally students have worn a Santa hat and decorated their instruments with battery operated Christmas lights.
