KAUKAUNA — The City of Kaukauna Recreation Department will present this year’s Electric City Christmas Parade beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023.
The route has changed slightly when the parade gets to the south side. The route will now turn right on Second Street instead of Third. It will proceed to the fire department and SPAR building.
The official start of the parade is at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Depot Street.
The parade travels southeast on Wisconsin Avenue, turns right and travels South on Highway 55, then turns right and travels west on Second Street.
There will be a sensory sensitive area beginning at the intersection of Highway 55 and Second Street until the corner of Reaume and Second street.
Parade goers that are sensitive to the loud sounds of the parade such as the sirens, horns and band at full volume can go to this section of the parade route that will not have these loud sounds.
The parade ends at the intersection of 3rd Street and Reaume Avenue.
After riding on a Kaukauna Fire Truck in the parade, Santa will be available in the Community Room in the Streets, Parks and Recreation (SPaR) Building at 207 Reaume Avenue. Cookies and hot chocolate will be served.
This year’s parade theme is “Christmas Candyland” as submitted by Landon Jansen, who will be riding in the Fire Department’s Ladder Truck along with Santa in the parade.
Should the parade need to be canceled or postponed due to weather conditions, the city will place an announcement on Facebook and on the city’s website and call WHBY radio station, and ask them to announce it on the radio.
