Hinesville’s 13th annual Illuminated Christmas Parade will be at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4.
The parade’s new nighttime route begins and ends at the Pre-K Center next to the Board of Education, then follows Bradwell, East Memorial Drive (formerly Washington), moves around the traffic circle to continue on Memorial, then to Wellborn and finally picks up on its old route at Gen. Screven Way before looping back via Hendry and Main Street again.
This year’s parade currently has nearly 70 entries including 20 floats. The grand marshal for the parade will be longtime resident and retired educator Mary Baggs, and two of the honorary grand marshals will be Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Phillips and Dave Sapp, director of Solid Waste Services.
The third honorary grand marshal seat is reserved for the late Don Carter, a longtime business leader in the community.
