Holiday lights, hometown pride, and neighbors coming together—that’s what the Annville Parade of Lights is all about. Team Sechman is proud to be a sponsor, and we’re inviting individuals, families, businesses, groups, and organizations to help make this community celebration shine.
The parade takes place Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 6 p.m., beginning at Weaber and Maple streets, traveling along Maple Street, and ending at College and Maple. Organized by Celebrate! Annville, a committee of the nonprofit Friends of Old Annville, the event will bring illuminated floats, decorated vehicles, and walking groups through town for an evening of holiday fun.

Michael Sechman shares how local businesses, community groups, and neighbors can take part in the Annville Parade of Lights—or come out to watch on November 21 at 6 p.m.
The next piece is you.
We’re looking for people who want to participate, bring an idea to life, and give our neighbors something to smile about. Whether you represent a local organization or simply have a group of friends ready to get creative, we’d love to see you involved.
We’re especially encouraging participation from:
- Individuals, families, and friends who want to celebrate together.
- Local businesses ready to show their community spirit.
- Schools, student organizations, and youth groups looking for a shared holiday project.
- Churches, nonprofits, and service clubs that want to bring their members together.
- Sports teams, community groups, and public service organizations ready to help light up the route.
A walking group dressed in lights, a festive float built around a shared theme, or a decorated vehicle can all offer ways to participate. Gather your group, start brainstorming, and review the official entry requirements as you plan. You don’t need to begin with an elaborate concept—start with an idea your group will enjoy creating together.
For Team Sechman, sponsoring the parade is a way to support the community we call home. Our work connects us with people throughout Annville, and we value the occasions that bring those neighbors together. We’re excited to help make an evening like this possible and to see the creativity our community brings to it.
