Even in 2020, the Bartlett Christmas parade is still a go
The Bluff City Balloons light up the night with a balloon torch during the 2019 Bartlett Christmas Parade. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s parade won’t be a traditional one. Bartlett is trying out a “reverse” parade, where participants remain in the same location, while spectators drive by in their cars. (Ziggy Mack/Special to the Daily Memphian file)
The parade is taking place at W.J. Freeman Park at 2629 Bartlett Blvd. from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday. That’s not Stage Road, where the city hosted parade onlookers for years.
