YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Dorothy Young Electric Light Parade has been a Yuma tradition for over two decades.

The theme this year is "Misfit Toys," and there are 118 entries. They are expecting 40,000 people to be in attendance.

Leslie Fain, the Visit Yuma Operations Manager, shares how this is a great moment to bring the community together.

"People love a hometown parade, they love to come and see their kids in the band, their neighbors business, all those great places that they frequent all year long, and it's a really great opportunity to come out and support the community...It's a great atmosphere,” Fain says.

The parade starts at 6 p.m. on West Ninth street and ends on South Main Street.
