2025 Cy-Fair Parade of Lights Benefitting Texas Volunteer Firefighter Relief Fund

The streets of Cypress and Northwest Houston will shine bright with holiday magic as the 2025 Cy-Fair Parade of Lights returns on Sunday, December 7 at 6:00 PM, bringing a dazzling procession of lights, fire trucks, floats, and community spirit—all in support of the Texas Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Fund (TVFFRF).

Celebrating its 28th annual year, this beloved local tradition draws hundreds of families from Cy-Fair, Cypress, Bear Creek, Copperfield, and surrounding communities to kick off the holiday season with a meaningful cause at its heart.

This year’s Grand Marshal is Denise Corliss, a local hero whose volunteer work with the Cy-Fair Fire Departmentand FEMA’s Texas A&M Task Force 1 has helped communities across the nation during some of their darkest hours. With over 25 years of service and her Golden Retrievers by her side—Rennes and Finn—Corliss embodies the spirit of service the parade celebrates.
