The presenter of the parade is Ole Red Gatlinburg, an exciting newcomer to Gatlinburg planning to open its new Parkway establishment early in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The parade participants will gather from 5 or 6 pm on, along Baskins Creek Bypass just off of East Parkway. The lineup begins its procession at 7:30, entering the main Parkway strip at Light #3 and progressing south through downtown to Light #10. It lasts about one hour, and the leaders should reach Light #10 around 8 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Parking is available at the two city lots at Ripley&#8217;s Aquarium (Light #5) and at Light #3.
