Due to the forecast of rain for Saturday, the Holiday Starlight Parade will be held Sunday at 6 p.m., organizers announced.
The parade route will follow Market Street from M.L. King Boulevard to Third Street before disbanding at Broad Street. The review stand, where WRCB-TV Channel 3 personalities will serve as emcees, will be located in the 800 block of Market Street, across from Miller Plaza.
The procession is expected to feature more than 60 entries, consisting of regional bands, balloons, floats, walking units and the Scenic City Volks Folks car club, a nod to parade sponsor Volkswagen of Chattanooga.
All entries will be strung with festive holiday lights. Dozens of volunteers also will be walking along the parade route, handing out candy and other treats.
