Celebrate the start of the holiday season in Downtown Sioux City at the 2025 IBEW Holiday Lighted Parade on Monday, November 24, at 6:15 p.m. This magical annual event is presented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 231 and is one of Siouxland’s most beloved holiday traditions.The parade will travel along 4th Street, beginning at Iowa Street and ending at Nebraska Street. After the parade, gather in front of the Sioux City Public Museum to watch the lighting of the downtown holiday tree - a moment that officially kicks off the holiday season in Sioux City.
Accessible & Sensory Friendly Area
In partnership with The Oak View Group and Siouxland District Health Department, a designated Accessible Viewing Area will be available outside the Sioux City Convention Center with a Sensory Friendly space located inside during the 2025 IBEW Holiday Lighted Parade. These spaces are designed to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities, free and open to the public.
Meet Santa!
After Santa lights the tree, Santa will stop at Art SUX Gallery before he leaves to greet everyone. This is also the location where Siouxland can drop off their letters to Santa all season long! On November 8 and December 6, the Art SUX for Kids Foundation is hosting an event here where kids can write letters and decorate cookies. Kids of all ages are invited to drop off their letters to Santa so he can get them in time for the holiday.
