On December 5th there will be two Christmas events held in Texarkana. The KCS Holiday Express Train (KCS) and The Texarkana Christmas Parade (TCP). If interested in attending both events the time to plan is now. With Thanksgiving out the way the official countdown until Christmas has started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The KCS started in 2001 and has been coming to Texarkana for over 19 years. This will be the first time the train has run since the pandemic in 2020. Each year the train stops in 5 to 6 states and over 20 communities. With Ashdown, AR being the closes stop to Texarkana. Guests will have to be shuttled from Texas High Stadium to the train’s location. The event is from 5:30pm – 8:30pm. \u201cI’m so excited to go to the KCS Train this year to meet Santa.\u201d Said 7 year old Ashley Holliverse. The front of the train resembles Thomas The Train and is equipped with lights and Christmas decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TCP is always held on the first Monday in December each year. Citizens will experience Live Camels, Custom Floats, High Schools Bands and more. A winner is chosen for the most creative float. The route will start at Broad Street at 7pm and will end at Stateline Avenue. There will also be bars and restaurants open downtown with more live entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year the KCS looks for volunteers within the communities to come out and help. For more information about this event check out kcsouthern.com. <\/a>To become a sponsor for the TCP forms can be found on mainstreettexarkana.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
