Lighted Holiday Parade makes its way through Downtown Morris as city celebrates Christmas season

Clydesdale horses pull carriages down Liberty Street during the annual Lighted Holiday Parade on Friday, Nov. 28, 2025.

The Lighted Holiday Parade in Morris made its way down Liberty Street on Friday, leading to the annual tree lighting in Chapin Park.

Floats included a Nativity scene, a giant in-ground swimming pool being pulled on its side, many variations of the Grinch, and more.

Retiring Deputy City Clerk Gail Hussey got to flip the switch at Chapin Park, lighting up the park for the first time this Christmas season.
