Christmas on the River tonight in downtown Parkville

Parkville’s Christmas on the River — the largest Christmas celebration in the Kansas City metropolitan area — is tonight in historic downtown Parkville.

Due to the sheer size of the event, traffic in downtown Parkville will be stopped during the event, which will begin at 6 p.m. Visitors are asked to park and ride using the bus shuttles at Parkhill South High School and South Platte County Community Center (YMCA). Shuttles run from 5:45 pm until 11 pm.

Fireworks are due to begin at 8:30 p.m., just after the annual perfomance of the fabled “1,000 voice choir.”
