Christmas in Columbia Annual Parade Under the Lights lineup Click on headline for 24th Annual Parade Under the Lights line up as of 4:30pmCT, Thu 4 December 2014, just 49.5 hours before the 2014 Parade Under the Lights, gets underway. By Debbie Selby For the Columbia/Adair County Chamber of Commerce The Parade is shaping up to be the best ever. Already, Debbie Selby said, there are 60 units registered to be in the lineup, and additional units are always expected at this stage. That compares to 56 in 2013. The floats will line up at the McCammish/Morgan Mfg. plant on Industrial Drive. The floats will be judged there, and be given placards to display along the parade route. The veterans float will be at the Columbia First Church of the Nazarene. As the parade from Industrial Drive approaches, the veterans float will go to the front. The parade will proceed North on Jamestown Street, where many of the best spots for watching from cars will be located. The parade will enter the Square on Jamestown Street circling three quarters of the square, and will go past the traditional review stand in front of the Adair Annex, where awards and prizes will be presented, announced by news personalities from The WAVE 92.7 and WAIN 93.5 and Columbia/Adair County Chamber officials. The procession will exit on Burkesville Street, still in formation to Guardian Street, where it will disband.
