Chuy's Christmas Parade Marches Forth

If you’re free on Nov. 29, the Chuy’s Christmas Parade is a great place to take the whole family. The parade is taking place on Congress Avenue at 11:00 a.m. and ends at E. Cesar Chavez St. after about one hour of walking. The parade helps to support under-privileged children in Austin by requesting that all participants bring a new toy with them to the parade. The parade features multiple marching bands, floats, large balloons, and more. Admission is free – minus the toys, of course. For more information, check out their website.

Simone Heim, News Editor
Hi, my name is Simone Heim. I work for the Westwood Horizon online news as the Head News Editor. This is my third year in Student Press, as well as my fourth year in the journalism program. I also participate in the Westwood theater program as an actor and occasionally with tech. Outside of school I work as an assistant coach at a parkour gym teaching fight choreography, and over the summer I’m a counselor at a few summer camps. Some of my pastimes include obsessively listening to musical soundtracks, telling my friends to ‘fight me’, crying over television shows, and drinking hot cocoa.
