The annual Christmas parade, sponsored by the Jacobsville Area Community Corporation, is estimated to have more than 100 entries this year, with the addition of some potential surprises.

The parade includes bands from area high schools as well as floats, clowns, cars, dignitaries, other marching and performing groups, and of course, Santa. Judges, who will be located at the announcement stage located on the Buehler’s IGA parking lot, will select "Best in Parade," "Best Marching Unit," "Best Float," "Best Vehicle Unit," and "Best Band."
