Although recognizing that for many, Santa Claus is of great importance in their celebration of Christmas, it was determined that this parade would reserve any depiction of Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, or even elves for the final entry of the parade. That practice has historically been a part of our community\u2019s life. The date for the parade was set for the Friday after Thanksgiving to hopefully assist local businesses with a good kick-off to the Christmas season by bringing several hundred people to the Historic Square.\u00a0 Since 1997, the Lake Granbury Historical Merchants Association has co-sponsored the event.\u00a0 The event now draws \u201cthousands\u201d, instead of \u201chundreds\u201d, of spectators to the Square each Christmas.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-152\" src=\"http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-1024x684.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/granburyministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SR1_3850-749x500.jpg 749w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>For more information about parade details, weather alerts, etc. on the day of the event call the HGMA (Historic Granbury Merchants Association) at 682-936-4550 or go to:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitgranbury.com\/night-of-lights-christmas-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.visitgranbury.com\/night-of-lights-christmas-parade\/ <\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 90px;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministerial Alliance, in association with the Historic Granbury Merchants Association, sponsors a nighttime lighted Christmas parade with the ongoing purpose of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ.
