The Robins Regional Chamber is pleased to announce that the 58th Annual Robins Regional Christmas Parade, presented by Country Financial, will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2015.  Featured as Grand Marshal this year will be Warner Robins Fire Department’s Johnathan Clark.  Clarke was named Rookie of the Year by the Georgia State Firefighter’s Association and will be featured on the very first float of the parade.  Parade begins at 10:00 a.m. at the intersection of Houston Road and Watson Blvd and will head east.  The parade will turn south at Davis Dr. and end at the McConnell-Talbot stadium.
 
Themed “Christmas at the Movies,” this year’s event is geared toward highlighting Christmas in film.
Participants are encouraged to be creative as they decorate and celebrate the season with popular motion pictures through the years.
 
As incentive to enhance the competition for those vying for best in show for each category, participants are encouraged to use their imagination with theme-related decoration, creativity, originality and of course, music!  The parade units will be judged by a select group of business and community members and be awarded for their efforts.
 
As tradition would have it, the very last float will feature none other than jolly old Saint Nick!  Sponsoring the Santa float is one of the Robins Region’s newest businesses, Morris Bank.
 
The Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade is one of Georgia's largest Christmas holiday events and provides a great opportunity for area organizations and businesses to gain valuable exposure and show off their community spirit.  Each year thousands of community members attend this much anticipated holiday event where business owners, educational organizations and recreational entities unite in an effort to make the season jolly!
 
In addition to the thousands of spectators attending in person, television viewers will once again be able to watch the broadcast on 13WMAZ and 13WMAZ.com, among other media outlets.
