During Memorial weekend, our large Czechoslovakian population hosts the National Polka Festival with a parade, colorful costumes, street dancing, mouthwatering Czech food and desserts, and traditional Polka bands.
In December, Ennis displays its holiday spirit with many activities starting with the 1^st Thursday of December. The lighted Christmas parade, sponsored by the Ennis Chamber of Commerce, is held on this Thursday and has become a family favorite.
