The Most Wonderful Time: Submit Your Float and Join the Killeen Celebration

I’ve had the pleasure of participating in the parade for the past four years, and to be honest with you, it’s absolutely amazing to be part of something so festive and fun.

This year’s theme is “A Cinematic Christmas”, and participants are invited to create floats inspired by beloved holiday movies and memorable films.
