The annual Rome Christmas Parade will be held at 7 PM this evening in downtown Rome. This year’s festivities will honor Grand Marshals Jeff and Mary Margaret Mauer, who have worked tirelessly to address the foster care crisis in Rome and Floyd County. As Co-Founders of Restoration Rome, their dedication reflects the spirit of the holiday season.

The parade will start at Broad Street and 1st Avenue and end at 6th Avenue in front of City Hall, where Santa will light the Christmas tree. If there is bad weather, the rain date is Thursday, December 5th. Participants are encouraged to arrive early, and entries must be in position by 6:00 PM for judging.

The community can find updates on the Rome Christmas Parade’s Facebook page or through Georgia’s Rome YouTube channel. For more parade details, visit the official parade website HERE
