Friday, crews began putting up gates to mark off the parade routes. The parade is one of the largest in the Southeast.

Final prep underway for the Raleigh Christmas Parade


The weather is expected to be cold Saturday morning, so ABC11 anchor Amber Rupinta recommends bundling up to keep holiday spirits bright.

The parade kicks off Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with a pre-show hosted by Lauren Johnson and Big Weather Don Schwenneker. The parade runs from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
