Santa Claus is coming to Town on November 29th, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.! This beloved community event promises to bring joy and festive cheer to residents and visitors alike.
We invite local groups, organizations, and individuals to participate in the parade. Whether you have a float, a marching band, or simply want to walk alongside Santa, we encourage everyone to join in the festivities.
This year's parade theme is Holiday Movie Magic! Floats or vehicles inspired by classic Christmas films.
Looking for suggestions? How about the Polar Express.... Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.... The Grinch... Christmas Vacation... Elf ..... so many options!
