MOODY — The City of Moody invites you to join them as they celebrate the Christmas Season at the 2021 Annual Moody Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 11, at 5:00 p.m.
Light up the lights, strike up the band, and untangle that tinsel, the magic of Christmas is coming to Moody.
The theme of the parade this year will be “A Very Merry Disney Christmas.” The Moody Christmas Parade is a true Christmas tradition. So bring your family and make some memories.
The Moody Fire and Police will lead the parade, Mayor Joe Lee, Moody City Council, and the award-winning Moody High School marching band. In addition, Mayor Lee named Cory Land as the 2021 Grand Marshal of the Moody Christmas Parade.
Land was recently awarded the “Key to the City” by Mayor Lee and the Moody City Council. Land represented the U. S. in the World Wrestling Championship in Hungary and brought home the 2021 Silver World Medal. He is currently ranked No. 2 nationally at 120 pounds. He’s won four Alabama State Titles with a 154 – 0 career record. In addition, he is a multi-time National Champion, multi-time All-American, and two-time USA World team member.
The parade route will begin at ADESA, head north on Moody Parkway, and turn right at the Moody Crossroads, a great spectator location. Then, the parade will proceed on Park Avenue and turn right and end at the Moody City Park.
The Moody Christmas parade has become a family tradition, so bring the kids and make some magical memories.
