Twinkling Together as a Community 

Did you know that this holiday parade consists of your favorite businesses, school groups, non-profits, and neighbors? This year over 4,000 people are in the parade with 260 vehicles. Twinkly entries include trucks and trailers, cement mixers, box trucks, buses, marching bands, ambulances, firetrucks, dance groups, athletic teams, show vehicles, and more!

The entries that comprise the Twinkle Light Parade are hard working groups that take twinkling very seriously. Participating groups put the time and effort into creating an illuminated entry because they love doing it for the community. Thank you to everyone involved in making this the best and brightest Albuquerque parade!

The Albuquerque Twinkle Light Parade is free for the public to attend and is a rain or shine event. Please be aware of and obey all posted street parking signs. Do not block Nob Hill residents' driveways and access to their homes. Well behaved, leashed pets are welcome.

Thank you to our Sponsors!
