The 2019 Sun Prairie Fire Truck Parade.
Nov. 28 update: The 110th Annual Fire & Lights Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony previously scheduled for Saturday, November 29 at 5:00 pm has been cancelled due severe winter weather. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from 3:00 am on Saturday to 6:00 am on Sunday, and 9-12 inches of snow is expected in our region.
Our priority is the safety of participants, spectators, and staff. With a Winter Storm Warning in effect and expected snowfall rates during the event window, proceeding would create significant travel and safety risks.

media release: Come on out to Downtown Sun Prairie on Saturday, November 29 to experience the 110th Annual Fire & Lights Parade, followed by a festive tree lighting ceremony at the Sun Prairie Historical Library & Museum – with a special appearance by Santa Claus! This holiday event is a collaboration between the Sun Prairie Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department, Sun Prairie Fire Department, the Historical Library & Museum, and Visit Sun Prairie.
The event begins at 5:00 pm with live music from the Sun Prairie Area Community Band and commentary provided by the Sun Prairie Media Center. At 6:00 pm the Fusion Dance Academy will kick off the festivities with a performance in front of the Sun Prairie Historical Library & Museum. Local fire and public safety departments will showcase their holiday-decorated trucks, departing from South Street where they will park side-by-side at the intersection of Main Street and Church/Market Streets.
The Fire Truck Parade will take place from 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm, followed by the Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony in front of the Museum at 6:30 pm. Once the fire trucks are parked, Santa Claus will work his holiday magic to light the Downtown Christmas tree in front of the Historical Library & Museum. After the tree is lit, attendees can get an up-close look at the fire trucks and take photos with Santa until 7:30. At 7:30 pm, the vehicles will depart, and Main Street will reopen.
“I cannot wait to take part in my first Fire & Lights Holiday Parade! What a great way to kick off the holiday season,” says Jade Pekol, City of Sun Prairie Community Events & Development Manager. “I can’t wait for everyone to see the beautifully decorated trucks, meet Santa, and take part in the tree lighting!”
