Contact: Carl Smith
STARKVILLE, Miss.—Numerous Mississippi ý students, employees and dignitaries—including the Famous Maroon Band, Miss MSU Morgan Nelson and the university’s EcoCAR team—will help ring in the Christmas season Monday [Nov. 27] in the annual Starkville Christmas parade.
The theme of this year’s parade is “All is Bright,” and the 6 p.m. event is led by Grand Marshal Roy A. Perkins, Starkville’s vice mayor and longest-serving alderman.
To facilitate the parade, a majority of Russell Street—an important link to MSU’s campus—will close at 4 p.m. The closure includes the length of the road from its intersection with Fellowship Street to its Lampkin Street intersection. The parade itself will begin near the Russell-Lampkin intersection and progress to Main Street.
