Dallas, GA – Downtown Dallas is gearing up for one of Paulding County’s most popular holiday traditions as the annual Christmas Parade returns Friday, December 6, with festivities beginning late morning and clear skies expected.
According to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, the parade will roll at 11 a.m., and the agency will host a live broadcast from its stage on Main Street, positioned next to First Baptist Church of Dallas. Officials said the production will begin before the parade reaches the broadcast area, giving spectators an early look at the event as it unfolds.
Crowds are encouraged to arrive early and secure a viewing spot directly across from the stage for the best vantage point of the full on-air production. Sheriff Ashley Henson will emcee this year’s parade, continuing a long-running local holiday tradition for the community.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that Friday’s forecast is shaping up to be favorable for spectators, with no rain expected. However, temperatures are projected to remain on the chilly side throughout the morning, and residents are urged to bundle up.
Traffic in and around downtown Dallas may be slower than usual due to road closures connected to parade staging and spectator activity. Officials recommend planning ahead if traveling through the area Friday morning or attending the event.
The Christmas Parade remains one of the busiest December weekends for Dallas, drawing residents from across Paulding County and the greater northwest Georgia region.
