Prepare for the Waitsburg Xmas Parade

WAITSBURG — Waitsburg will enjoy Hometown Christmas celebrations, including the 39th Annual Waitsburg Hometown Christmas Parade, on Sunday, December 8. Tom Elstrom, Chair of the Waitsburg Hometown Christmas Parade, said the holiday procession would briefly impact local traffic and that monitored barricades would be in place for the parade’s duration to help direct traffic.

Eastbound traffic on Highway 124 will be diverted south onto Cardinal Road, then east on W. Seventh St. to Coppei Ave. Westbound traffic destined for Highway 124 will be diverted in the opposite direction on the same route. Highway 12 traffic will not be affected by the parade.

The parade starts at 5 p.m. at First and Main and proceeds south onto Main, right on Sixth, right on Orchard St., right on Fourth, and left on Main to return northbound to the staging area. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and watch for slow-moving vehicles moving to and from the parade staging area.
