Christmas lights are going up in downtowns across the country as we usher in the holiday season. 

On the WHOW Morning Show, Friday, Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch told the Hart Media Group that they will be sharing Season's Greetings when this year's Christmas Parade takes place on Thursday, December 4th at 6:30 PM. He notes this year it will be run by the City. 

Mayor Welch indicates there are already over 40 entries in this year's parade. He adds that Tourism Director Scott McCoy 3D-printed awards for the best floats. 

There's still time to sign up for the parade. You can do so and learn more by visiting lincolniltoursim.com. Again, the Parade takes place on December 4th at 6:30 PM, starting in Downtown Lincoln.
