One of the best events of the year that the Magic Valley puts on is the Festival of Lights, and it returns once again in 2023. Here is everything you need to know to prepare for this year's parade.
When is the Festival of Lights Parade in Twin Falls?
Every year a crowd flocks to Main Street in downtown Twin Falls to line the road awaiting one of the best parades of the year. The Festival of Lights Parade is back this year, and it is taking place this Friday, December 1 on Main Street in downtown Twin. The parade will begin at 6 PM, but you will want to arrive early to get a good spot. Make sure you bundle up, as it is expected to be a cold night, with a chance of rain and potential snow. Streets will begin being blocked off at 3 PM downtown, to prepare for the parade, so if you need to go that way, you may need to find a different route. If you are parked on Main, you will want to move your car before 3 PM, so it doesn't get towed.
About the Festival Lights Parade in Twin Falls
The Festival of Lights is a parade that lasts typically around an hour, and it is best to bundle up as it is typically cold and is expected to be this year. Make sure to bring a bag of some sort, especially if you have kids, as a variety of candy will be handed out, and you never know what random gifts you could end up with as well. Show up early and bring chairs if you would like to sit. There are guard rails to lean up against, but there is no guarantee you will get near them. There will be around 70 entries into the parade this year, and the event will be sponsored by First Federal Bank. For more details on the parade, you can click the link in the paragraph above.

The Festival of Lights is a great time for the whole family and an event that will likely become a tradition for yours if you go. Take pictures, record videos, and create memories at one of the best events of the year. The Festival of Lights is back so don't wait and get your spot to enjoy the parade this weekend.
