Holidazzle Dec 17 and 18 Featuring Southwest Band

The Target Holidazzle is a series of parades that take place at Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis and kickoffs always the day after Thanksgiving. In 1992 the first parade drew crowds that were estimated to be over 300,000 and have become a popular destination for friends and family to congregate together during the busiest time of the year.

The thrilling and exciting spectacles are free and open to the public, which runs along Nicollet Mall (between 12th and 4th St.). The schedule has four remaining parades for this week starting Thursday Dec. 15 and runs all the way through Sunday Dec. 18.

During these events spectators will be able to enjoy appearances by high profile figures and great performances from different marching bands to energize the holiday spirit. Starting this Thursday the Marching band will be the Lean Mean Performance Machine (Hopkins High School) and the next day a great performance by the Bleep Drum Corps (the self-proclaimed group of skilled performers from the Montevideo, MN.)

Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 16-17) will feature Southwest High School Marching Band and they will wrap up the Holidazzle with the Minnesota Chorale choir on the last day.
