Whitehaven Christmas Parade 2012
When the Downtown Memphis Association pulled the plug on the Memphis Christmas Parade last year, the Whitehaven Community Christmas Parade became the only Christmas parade to be held anywhere in Memphis. This year, the event attracted a record crowd, and some school bands from outside Whitehaven, including Booker T. Washington High and Manassas High. The sunny, warm weather undoubtedly contributed to the increased attendance.
