MANITOWOC (NBC 26) — The Lakeshore Holiday Parade has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, December 10, at 6:30 p.m.
The parade, held annually in Manitowoc, was postponed last week due to poor weather conditions.

Originally set to take place last week on Thanksgiving Eve, the parade could not continue on due to windy conditions and snow fall that worsened in the early evening hours. City staff could not safely shut down streets as they were handling other public safety calls.
On December 10, festive, decorated floats, marching bands, trucks, and walkers will follow the same route as originally planned - heading east at S 14th Street and Washington Street to S 8th Street, then head north to Park Street. Entries are judged, and winners are announced publicly and trophies presented at the December 15 Common Council meeting.
