Thousands attended the annual Atmore Twilight Christmas Parade Saturday evening, including a jolly old elf.

Bands from Northview High, Escambia County High, J.U. Blacksher High, Flomaton High and Ernest Ward Middle schools took part in the parade, as did hundreds of other participants. With the parade theme “A Broadway Christmas”, most centered around a Broadway play or musical. The Greater Escambia Council of the Arts served as grand marshals for the parade.
