For the second weekend in a row, several cities across Middle Tennessee celebrated the holiday season with parades.
The 33rd Annual Donelson-Hermitage Christmas Parade was held at 2 p.m. Saturday. The theme this year was "A Season of Love." The Predators participated in the parade, along with students at McGavock High School, and the Grand Marshal was recording artist Tim Rushlow.

At the Mt. Juliet parade, which started at 11 a.m. Saturday, our Storm 5 Titan was seen rolling through along with NewsChannel 5's Vicki Yates, Henry Rothenberg, and Carrie Sharp.
The theme was "Christmas in a galaxy far, far away." A portion of Mt. Juliet Road was closed for the event.
Henry also joined Jennifer Kraus in Storm 5 Titan for the parade in Murfreesboro that started at 2 p.m. Sunday. The theme this year was "Peace on Earth," and with temperatures in the upper 40s, it was perfect for all parade-goers!
The week before, on Saturday, December 2, singers from Montgomery Central Elementary School opened the Clarksville Parade.
