The lead up to Christmas continues in downtown Monroe with Candlelight Shopping from 5 to 8 pm. on Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025. This tradition continues each Thursday in November, (except for Thanksgiving evening) and December, but this Thursday offers another special tradition – the Bikes, Trikes and Magical Lights parade in Childers Park that opens the 12 Days of Christmas Light Display. Lights will be on every evening through Dec. 30th.
You are invited at 6 p.m. to join in a walk through this year’s annual Christmas lights display in Childers Park in Downtown Monroe featuring the Twelve Days of Christmas!
This is the seventh annual and if you’re new to the area, click or tap on the Youtube link below for a video on the first annual Bikes, Trikes and Magical Lights parade in Childers Park in 2019. It has only got bigger and better since then!
Children are encouraged to decorate their “favorite bike, stroller, wagon, or any other favorite set of wheels to parade through the Christmas lights.” The parade starts at 6 pm in the parking lot behind the Monroe Library. The lights will be on until 9:00 pm every night through December 31st. It is free of charge and open to kids of all ages.
You are invited to then continue uptown for photos with Santa, carriage rides & train rides. Enjoy dinner, drinks or dessert at one of Monroe’s amazing restaurants before or after shopping. Maybe you will find that perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Different activities will be planned each week so check back often or follow social media for details.
