A little extra sparkle has been rolling through Elkford each holiday season since 2024, and we’re excited to keep this happy, merry tradition going!
Got a truck, car, Jeep or other vehicle that could use some Christmas cheer? Deck it out in lights, tinsel and festive decorations and join the Christmas Lights Parade! Whether you go simple and sparkly or full-on Clark Griswold, the more lights, the merrier!
