This year’s honorary grand marshals are the Bristol Senior Little League Softball Team. The team made their way all the way to the Little League World Series and finished in third place.
From marching bands to classic cars to fire trucks to costumed characters, the parade is always hit with the family. The finale includes Santa and Mrs. Klaus traveling down the parade route greeting all the children.
On Friday evening, Bristol will celebrate at the base of the Mill Street business district with the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
