Rogers Christmas Parade
The theme of this year’s parade is “The Spirit of Christmas.” The Rogers Christmas Parade begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday, December 6th in Downtown Rogers. The parade will follow its customary route beginning at 5th Street and Poplar Street and then proceed East through the heart of downtown, moving North on 1st Street and West on Walnut Street. Residents and visitors are welcome to enjoy the parade and vibrant holiday atmosphere of downtown Rogers at any point along the route!
Parade entries will compete for trophies in four categories.
• “Spectacular Sparkles Award” goes to the entry that presents an outstanding display of lights or other type of illumination.
• “Elfin Magic Award” goes to the entry that most impressively features children.
• “Glory of Angels Award” goes to the entry that best illustrates a religious theme.
• “Knock Your Stockings Off Award” goes to the entry with the most outstanding use of the parade theme.
The Rotary Clubs of Rogers will coordinate this popular annual event managing float entries, parade lineup, and judging. The Rogers New Technology Interact Club is also supporting the parade with dozens of volunteers as one of their community service projects.
The parade is sponsored by First National Bank NWA and these organizations are partnering with the City of Rogers to showcase the community's holiday spirit.
