BELOIT—The city kicked off the holiday season Friday night with the 30th Annual Downtown Beloit Association’s (DBA) Grand Lighted Holiday Parade.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the parade had been held as a drive-through “reverse parade” for the past two years. But on Friday night the traditional parade was back along with Santa’s arrival, much to the ample crowd’s delight.

Held in its full splendor, the parade featured dance troops, lighted floats and prancing pooches outfitted in their best holiday attire. Onlookers, adorned in Santa hats and lights, and one girl in cow pajamas, lined up waiting for the big event.
