By Town of Kingsville - Nov 06, 2026

The Town of Kingsville is excited to announce that the Fantasy of Lights Parade, presented by SK Cornerstone, will take place on Saturday, November 21 at 5:00 pm. The route begins on Wigle Avenue, travels down Main Street to Division and ends at Lakeside Park.

Join us along the parade route to see all the festive floats! Check out the parade route map and plan your viewing spot before you head out.

After the parade, the community will gather at the Lakeside Park Pavilion for Christmas carols before we flip the switch and transform Lakeside Park into a spectacular display of festive lights.
