It is starting to look a lot like Christmas at the Theater Building in Franklin, West Virginia.

Franklin’s Main Street Magic Light Parade is almost here, and we’re ready to kick off the season with some sparkle! The parade will begin at 5:30 PM at Franklin Elementary School, travel down Main Street, and end at the Historic McCoy House — where families can enjoy a meet-and-greet with Santa.

We’d love to see our community shine, and everyone is invited to take part. Local businesses, clubs, organizations, families, and festive friends of all kinds are welcome to join the lineup. No pre-registration required — just arrive at 5:00 PM at Franklin Elementary School if you’d like to participate.

Whether you’re jumping in with a decorated float, walking with your group, or coming out to watch the lights roll by, we can’t wait to celebrate with you. Let’s make this year’s parade bright, joyful, and full of small-town magic!
