The Holiday Parade Returns!

Mark your calendars—Downtown Asheville’s Holiday Parade is back on Saturday, November 22 from 11 AM to 2 PM!

🌟 Join the Parade
Community groups, public schools, nonprofits, organizations, and more are invited to register their entry. This year’s theme is Toyshop Whimsy 🧸🤹‍♀️, and entrants are encouraged to decorate floats, vehicles, and costumes 🎠🎀 to bring the theme to life.

🗓️ The deadline to register is October 10. Parade participants will be contacted with details and placement by October 31.

🚩 A limited number of floats have been reserved exclusively for sponsors. Interested in sponsoring? Contact Emily at emily@ashevilledowntown.org.

🙌 Volunteer Opportunity
It’s going to take a LOT of volunteers to make this beloved tradition happen. Community groups and nonprofits can volunteer to support the parade—and in return, receive $1,000 for providing 20 volunteers. To learn more about group volunteering, reach out to info@ashevilledowntown.org.

Let’s come together to celebrate the season and make this year’s Holiday Parade the most magical one yet! 🎅🎶🎄
