McKinney Rotary Christmas Parade of Lights

Saturday, December 12, 2026

Historic Downtown McKinney

Join us for the 27th Annual McKinney Rotary Christmas Parade of Lights, one of McKinney's most beloved holiday traditions.

This year's theme, Passport to the Holidays, celebrates holiday traditions from around the world through beautifully decorated floats, marching groups, performances, schools, churches, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations.

Presented by the McKinney Rotary Club, the Parade of Lights brings together more than 40,000 spectators each year and helps support community service projects that make a lasting impact both locally and around the world.

Whether you are looking to participate, volunteer, sponsor, or attend, you'll find everything you need right here.

Thank You to Our Supporters

The McKinney Rotary Christmas Parade of Lights would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors, volunteers, community partners, and the continued support of the McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC).

Together, we continue a tradition that brings our community together to celebrate the holiday season.
