The City of Searcy has moved the Searcy Holiday of Lights Christmas Parade to 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16, (from Dec. 7) to allow Searcy High School and Harding Academy football teams and supporters the opportunity to attend and participate in the event. 

“The City of Searcy is excited that the Searcy High School Football team will play for the state championship this Saturday, Dec. 7, and the Harding Academy High School Football team will be in the semi-finals for the state championship this Friday, Dec. 6, and the state championship on Saturday, Dec. 14, when they win,” said Searcy Mayor Kyle Osborne.  

“We wish to thank all our Christmas parade participants for their understanding in the need to make this change and hope everyone will mark their calendar to attend.”
