Thank you for the incredible support! Vendor Registration for the Christmas Parade is now CLOSED, as we've reached capacity. We look forward to a festive and memorable event!

What would a holiday parade be without great shopping? If you would like to have a booth at this well-attended parade, please see the information below. 

Booths will be located on the courthouse green as in past years, and electricity is not available there. Vendors on the green will be given a 12 x 12 space. 

**Please note that the participation of hot food vendors will be by invitation only. The parade committee will reach out by email to the selected vendors and provide registration information.  

The use of gas-powered generators will not be allowed as it creates a noisy disturbance in the area. 

Booth Fee: $30*

*The vendor fee benefits the Christmas Mother program.

Would you and your group like to show your holiday spirit? Don't just watch the parade, BE the parade! 

If individuals or groups would like to be in the parade there is a $25 fee*. If a group is comprised of more than 6 automobiles the fee will be $100*. All participants should decorate using a winter or Christmas theme. Also, floats should be decorated with flame-resistant materials and equipped with an ABC fire extinguisher. 

Lineup for the parade will begin at 12:00 p.m. on Mann Road, at the library, the YMCA, and Fighting Creek Park. Once participants have registered, lineup spots and parade spots will be assigned and communicated by email. 

Something to consider: Large groups that include children will need to coordinate the drop-off and pick-up system for their groups. As always, traffic will be heavy at the parade line-up location. Please encourage your group members to car-pool to limit the number of cars trying to access the area. 

Parade participants who are marching or riding on floats will end the route at the Powhatan Rescue Squad parking area on Marion Harland Road. It is the responsibility of groups/leaders to plan how children will be reunited with their families at the conclusion of the parade. This is not the responsibility of the parade committee members. 

Parade participants WILL NOT be allowed to throw candy to spectators. Any group who wishes to distribute candy or other items must plan to have members of their group walk along the parade route to hand out Items. This limits trash along the route and lowers the chance of someone getting injured.

*The participant fee benefits the Christmas Mother program.
