The Fourth Annual Lynn Furbish Holiday Light Parade will sparkle as it travels through downtown Baudette on Saturday, November 21. Organizers are excited and hopeful for a record number of entries this year. This year’s parade will mark the first year it will travel along the newly decorated route thanks to the generosity of the sponsors of this summer’s Deck the Downtown campaign which raised funds to purchase new lighted snowflakes and garlands to adorn the downtown light poles along Main Avenue.
The Baudette Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, that owns the Grand Theater, is organizing and sponsoring the event again this year.
The parade is set to begin at 5:15 p.m. Entries must include some style of lighting either from generator, solar or battery source. Vehicles, marchers, floats, and more are all welcome. Organizations, businesses, churches, and families are encouraged to participate to make this the best light parade the area has ever seen. The parade will start near Sacred Heart Catholic Church and travel north along Main Avenue to 2nd Street NW near the Grand Theater.
There is no cost to enter. Prizes will be awarded to Best Overall Entry, Best Decorated Fish House, Most Original Entry and Best Christmas Spirit. In addition, the “Christmas Cup,” a traveling trophy will go to the best entry from a resort. To register or if you have any questions, call Mike Hovde at 218-434-0273 or Laurie Baade at 218-395-2132. The deadline to register has been extended to Thursday, November 19.
As always, Santa Claus will be in town and part of the big parade.

In addition to helping the community usher in the holiday season, the parade honors Furbish who spent many years organizing a light parade for the Baudette-Lake of the Woods Chamber of Commerce. Furbish lost a battle with cancer in 2022.

A healthy Lake of the Woods County requires great community news.
