Monroe, OR – The City of Monroe will shine bright this weekend as the final stop in the Tri-County “Charlie Brown Christmas” light parade series kicks off Saturday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m.
According to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, the parade will roll through 680 Commercial St. in downtown Monroe, featuring festive floats, marching bands, and a visit from Santa Claus himself.
This annual holiday event follows earlier parades in Junction City (Dec. 5) and Harrisburg (Dec. 6), wrapping up the 2025 series with a cheerful community celebration. Families can expect cookies, music, and bright displays that transform Monroe’s main streets into a holiday wonderland.
The parade theme, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” brings nostalgic touches to many floats, celebrating the classic Peanuts story with lights, costumes, and decorations. Local sponsors including NW Natural Gas, EPUD, and Blachly Lane Electric Co-op helped bring the parade series to life.
Visitors are encouraged to arrive early for parking and warm drinks as Monroe’s downtown lights up for the final holiday parade of the season.
