The Springfield Jaycees are excited to announce the date for the 2024 Holiday Lights Parade. We look forward to kicking off the season with our lighted parade and are working on making it bigger and better! ✨The route will follow west on Jefferson starting at 7th st, turn south on 5th, east on Monroe, north on 6th and ends at 6th and Washington. ?
We're partnering with Sangamon County, IL Toys for Tots to spread some extra joy this year! Here's how you can help:
? Bring a toy with you to the parade. The greatest need is for kids aged 11–18, so extra kudos if your toy fits that age group (see below for ideas)!
? Look for Toys for Tots in front of the Springfield Jaycees (and Santa). They’ll be collecting donations from the crowd! Since Santa is always the last float in the parade, Toys for Tots will be second to last in the lineup.

?Toy ideas for the 11-18 age range could include sporting equipment, board games, hand-held electronics, books, art sets, backpacks, teen purses, bath gift sets, skateboards, bicycles, curling irons, and hair straighteners, and more! From chatting with organizers, we learned this age group could use some extra love. No worries if your toy doesn't fit this age range though - they welcome toys for all ages!
---
By bringing a toy, you can help spread love and community spirit, showing kids what the giving season is truly about. We hope you'll bring your festive gear, a toy or two, and join us in spreading the holiday spirit this season! ?
