Water Street Lighted Parade

Decorah’s Water Street Lighted Parade brings the community together for an evening of glowing holiday fun. Floats, classic cars, tractors, and local groups make their way through downtown, each decked out with twinkling lights and creative displays. Visitors can enjoy the warm storefront glow, grab a cozy drink from a nearby café, and take in the festive atmosphere as the parade illuminates historic Water Street. It’s one of Decorah’s signature winter events and a perfect way to kick off the holiday season. Enjoy the parade 6 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 12.
