THE RESPONSE wasn’t overwhelming...it was unanimous. The 2025 version of the Kingfi sher Chamber of Commerce’s Christmas parade and fi reworks and drone show were beyond a hit. “This was beyond fabulous,” read one comment on the KT&FP Facebook page. “The parade last night was wonderful! The best one ever!!” read another. “Possibly the best show Kingfi sher has ever experienced,” was the response on another. Kingfi sher’s lighted parade was followed by the fi reworks show which this year included some 200 drones that delivered not only holiday- themed images and messages, but personalized ones as well, some of which are pictured on the top. The drones and fi reworks were set to music. As for the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus wrapped up the lineup as the streets were lined with onlookers. [KT&FP Staff Photos]
