Lake Charles Christmas Parade

Louisianians love parades. I guess it’s the Mardi Gras in us. Lake Charles hosted its annual Christmas parade this afternoon. Sam Houston High’s Pride and Spirit Marching Band entertained the throngs lining Lakeshore Drive and Bilbo Street

Even dogs enjoy parades in Louisiana.

How does your community celebrate the season?
