On Friday, November 28, 2014, hundreds of illuminated floats and tens of thousands of North Texans will fill the streets of downtown Fort Worth for the 32nd annual XTO Energy Parade of Lights. First staged in 1983, Fort Worth's signature parade has grown to become Texas' largest illuminated holiday procession, with nearly 100 professionally-designed-and-produced floats , brilliant antique cars, lively marching bands, precision equestrian units, decorated horse-drawn carriages, and casts of strolling carolers prancing through the 1.58-mile parade route.
