The annual Columbus Christmas Parade will take place Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m., after being moved from Monday, Dec. 1 due to the threat of inclement weather.

The W will once again have a float in the parade, which employees have poured countless hours into over the last several weeks.

Spearheaded by Andrew Moneymaker, director of Housing and Residence Life at The W, this year’s float promises a summer vacation in the heart of winter.

The parade’s route will take it down Main Street and College Street.
