This annual Opp Christmas Parade, organized around varying themes, includes floats; cars; walking groups; and horses--all of whom can enter the contest to win cash prizes. The local Marching Black and Gold Band from Opp High School always makes an appearance and is a crowd favorite. Local law enforcement, fire departments, and organizations such as the Shriners also participate in this parade. Christmas carolers and local vendors play a role in making the parade a family event. At the culmination of the parade, the community gathers at The Opp Depot to enjoy some festive Christmas music and for the children to have cookies and coloring with Santa.
