Lexington, Henderson Co Christmas Parade celebrates the season, honors longtime organizer
LEXINGTON, Tenn. — Monday night was a special night for Ms. Diane McPeak who has served as Lexington-Henderson county’s parade master since 1995.
This year is the 30th year she has organized and led the parade in Lexington and it’s also her last. McPeak will be retiring from her role as parade master.
The City of Lexington and Henderson County are thankful for her three decades of dedication, joy, and community spirit that have made this parade an beloved tradition.

Whether the movie was “Elf”, “Home Alone”, or “It’s a Wonderful Life”, this parade had a float that could appeal to everyone.
Area marching bands, JROTC, battalions, and dance academies came out to celebrate the occasion.
Also in the parade were many Lexington and Henderson County officials including the city and county mayors.
