The parade will take participants through the vibrant streets of the Centro Histórico, alongside Avenida Reforma, before taking turns onto Uresti and Venustiano Carranza, culminating back at its starting point.
To manage the anticipated crowd and traffic, the local government has coordinated extensive security measures, deploying over 70 police officers throughout the route. According to the Municipal Government's announcement, "El recorrido tendrá una duración aproximada de tres horas, durante las cuales se restringirá parcialmente la circulación en las zonas mencionadas", ensuring both the safety of attendees and the smooth flow of the event.
The Coca-Cola Christmas Caravan not only highlights the holiday season but also fosters community spirit.

This sentiment is echoed by countless residents who look forward to the joy this event brings each year.
Besides the caravan, San Luis Potosí celebrates the festive season with several additional attractions, including dazzling lights across the Centro Histórico, the Christmas tree at Plaza de Armas, and the traditional nativity scene at the Centro Cultural Palacio Municipal. Such decorations only add to the magical atmosphere the Coca-Cola Christmas Caravan enhances during its route.
