FCSC Shines at the 2025 Downtown Washington Holiday Parade of Lights

Alex Moraes • December 2, 2025

Our first-ever parade appearance brought all six competitive teams together for a festive night of lights, community, and club pride.

FCSC made its debut at the Downtown Washington Holiday Parade of Lights on Saturday night—and what an unforgettable way to kick off the holiday season. With more than 70 glowing floats, classic cars, marching groups, and the annual tree lighting with Santa, the parade filled Main Street with holiday magic.


We were proud to roll out two FCSC floats, one for our girls and one for our boys. Players and families from all six competitive teams came together to decorate, gather candy, dress up, and represent our club with pride. The energy, teamwork, and excitement from our athletes and parents made the night special.


Seeing our club community—players, coaches, and families—walking together through the downtown route was a reminder of what FCSC is all about: connection, pride, and creating moments that last.


A big thank-you to the event organizers and parade sponsors for hosting such a memorable community tradition. We’re already excited for next year!


One Club. One Goal. One Community.
