The parade will feature tons of returning and new participants, plus a few fun surprises!
Parade begins at 1pm in front of Avon Hall and continues through the streets of Little Washington. To continue the fun this year there will be prizes for parade participants! The panel of four judges will have a tough time trying to pick out the best floats in each of four categories:
- Best interpretation of the theme
- Best musical entry
- Best creative entry
- Cutest entry
Maybe we can influence the decision-making by cheering the loudest for our favorite display as it goes past?
We are also honored to feature the incredible women who started Christmas in Little Washington 20 years ago! Keep your eye out for them in the parade and give them a jolly and warm thank you!
