✨ When you see the fireworks, you know it’s time — that big burst in the sky will once again kick off the 2025 Collinsville Christmas Parade!

💥 And it’s all thanks to Tate's Fireworks in Collinsville (old McPhail’s location on Hwy 19). Tate’s has graciously provided our parade-start fireworks blast every single year since the tradition began, so be sure to thank Jeff and Leigha Tate and Nick and Chlee Lisi for their support.

♥️ That’s the heart of community right there.

As you plan for New Year’s, don’t forget to stop by Tate’s and pick up everything you need to blast into 2025 in style!
