Cortana Kiwanis Christmas Parade set for Saturday

The Cortana Kiwanis Christmas Parade will roll through Baton Rouge on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 5:30 p.m. Bring the kids to see 80 decorated floats, walking troups, and bands celebrate the Holiday Season.

The annual Christmas Parade has rolled through downtown every year since 1950. It's a holiday tradition in Baton Rouge and serves as the official welcome parade for Santa Claus.

Every year tens of thousands of people line the parade route and thousands more watch the parade on television. The Cortana Kiwanis Christmas Parade is a largest and longest running parade in the Greater Baton Rouge Metro Region.?

Over the years the parade has been managed by many different groups. In 2009 the reins were passed to Cortana Kiwanis Club of Baton Rouge - a local chapter of Kiwanis International. Under Cortana Kiwanis' management, the parade serves as a fundraiser which supports the charitable work done by Cortana Kiwanis year-round.
