Raymond’s annual Lighted Parade is this weekend

The Willapa Harbor Chamber of Commerce will host the downtown Raymond Lighted Parade on Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. The event will take place downtown Raymond along Third Street. The announcer will be presenting the floats from the Raymond Theatre area.

Applications for entries can be found on the Facebook event page and can be filled out and dropped off to Julie Struck at South Bend City Hall or with Michelle Layman at Willapa Printing.

This event will include bright floats and walking entries from many organizations, individuals and businesses. Stop by and see the Christmas tree generously donated by the Russell family and decorated by the City of Raymond crew. Warm up at New Life Fellowship after the event as it will be offering free soup and rolls.

The annual event brings more than 1,000 folks to the streets of downtown Raymond each holiday season.
