The City of Douglas, Douglas-Coffee County Chamber of Commerce, and the Coffee County Commission are proud to announce the Grand Marshal for the 51st Annual Festival of Lights Christmas Parade. Douglas industry, Southwire, will be the Grand Marshal for the parade, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Coffee County Courthouse on December 6.

Many of their employees help support these organizations with their time, effort and money. Southwire proudly sponsors its Project Gift “Back to School” event each year where, along with community partners including Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, Douglas Fire, Douglas Police, and Covenant Christian Church, kids get school supplies and services to prepare them for the school year.

Registration for the Christmas parade will continue through Friday, December 5. The theme is “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” On Saturday, December 6, festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. when the Annual Festival of Lights Parade will light up Peterson Avenue at and make its way from the courthouse to the Coffee Career Academy.
