The PGE Festival of Lights Holiday Parade is the largest nighttime illuminated holiday parade west of the Mississippi! The whimsical holiday experience has become a family tradition for thousands of Oregonians since 1989 and continues to grow exponentially each year, reaching Salem and the surrounding areas to make this a truly regional Pacific Northwest event. Not only does the parade provide a magical experience for the whole community, as a non-profit event the parade also supports each of the Salem/Keizer high schools through an annual scholarship program. Support your local parade!


We welcome Portland General Electric back again as our title sponsor!  PGE has supported the Festival of Lights Holiday Parade for 11 years. Learn more about how PGE and the Festival of Lights Holiday Parade together help support your local community. 

The PGE Festival of Lights Holiday Parade was started 20 years ago by the efforts of local community supporter, Warren Franklin. The first year the parade was called the KBZY Salem Downtown Holiday Parade. By the next year the name had changed to the Festival of Lights Holiday Parade.
