The Lynn, Massachusetts Christmas Eve Parade has been a tradition since 1986 as the whole city comes out to celebrate the holiday season.

A show of lights was on the move, spreading joy and the festive magic through the streets of Lynn.

The Christmas Eve parade is back 38 years strong with all the bling and things that dazzle those who attend.

Bundled in coats and blankets, families watched the passing parade through the chilly winter air, though their hearts were warm.

For many, it’s been a tradition since they can remember.

“People from all over just coming to enjoy this one moment,” Christina Kennett said. “It’s very beautiful. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid and it’s something I get to pass down to my kid.”
