Episode Details

Apex’s beloved Christmas parade, a tradition since 1957, faces major changes this year due to downtown construction delays. The Streetscape project, meant to boost walkability and dining, is now slated to finish in December — right when the parade usually happens. Organizers are scrambling with options: modified floats, rerouted paths, or even a stationary parade (though the mayor’s not thrilled with that idea). With 14-hour workdays and last-minute planning, the parade’s final look hinges on street conditions. Past events like the Fourth of July have also been affected, and local businesses are feeling the strain from reduced foot traffic. Updates are expected next month as organizers race to preserve the holiday spirit.
