The holiday season kicks off with a larger-than-life celebration as the Midwest’s largest helium balloon parade returns to downtown Davenport!

And who knows? You might spot a few more surprises along the way.

And, of course, Santa Claus himself will make a special appearance to spread some holiday magic!
