Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade
Memorable Moments
As stated in my previous blog post, Ho Ho Ho!, I made lots of photos of Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade (held on Sunday, December 11, 2016). Although it took longer than I’d hoped to process all the photos — I confess I’m a bit picky — they’re finally ready to be shared.
I began photographing where the parade started, in front of Lewisville United Methodist Church, and I eventually made my way to Shallowford Square, where I remained until Santa Claus passed by.
While it’s true that I didn’t actually want to walk any further than that, I mainly realized that Shallowford Square, with its border of lighted trees, could provide a really nice photographic backdrop. But enough of this chatter — let’s get to the photos!
Below are just a few of the scenes from Lewisville’s Christmas Parade. A separate photo gallery contains a total of 68 photos. The LINK to the gallery is at the very end of this blog post. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Lewisville’s 32nd Annual Christmas Parade
The Lewisville Civic Club hosted its 32nd Annual Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 11, 2016.
Directed by Maureen Barton, the parade featured lots of floats, several local high school marching bands, dance and drill teams, veterans, horses, dogs, fire trucks, military vehicles and classic and antique automobiles.
Lewisville’s main thoroughfare was packed with people — children, parents and adults of all ages. (Many folks had staked out their parade spot more than an hour ahead of time.)
With Christmas music playing at Shallowford Square prior to the parade’s start, anticipation was building as the three o’clock hour approached. And once the parade got underway, children — and many adults — just couldn’t get enough of the candy that parade participants tossed their way.
Without a doubt, in a little over an hour, Lewisville’s Christmas Parade was everything that makes a community parade a special experience.
Festive Photos Coming
Of course, I took lots of photos, and I can’t wait to share them with you. But it takes time to get them just right. Plus, I have a day job. So please be patient and check back here within the next few days to view the Lewisville Christmas Parade photo gallery.
Meanwhile, please share LewisvillePhotos.com with others who may be interested in the soon-coming Christmas parade photos.
Thank you, one and all!

Did you make it to the big Christmas parade in Lewisville? I hope so, because this year’s parade seemed bigger and better than ever!
My apologies for being so late getting today’s post up. But I think the wait was well worth it, as I’ve prepared a load of photos for you! They’ve been carefully whittled down from the gazillions that I took throughout the parade.
If you weren’t able to attend the parade, I think viewing the photos will give you a sense of what it was like. And for those of you who did attend, you’ll get to relive some of the parade moments; plus, depending on where you were located along the route, you’ll probably also see some interesting scenes that you missed.
Just head on over to the Lewisville Christmas Parade photo gallery and enjoy scenes of this year’s parade. It’ll probably take you 10–15 minutes to get through all the photos, as there are 322 distinct photos in the gallery.
And if you would, please take a moment to leave a brief comment about the parade or the photos. I’d love to hear from you!
REMINDER! Lewisville’s Christmas Parade is held every year on the second Sunday in December at 3:00 PM.
