Erwin Candlelight Nativity Parade

Hundreds of little shepherds and angels will flow down Main Street singing traditional Christmas songs and lighting the way with candlelight for sheep and other animals as they search for the star of Bethlehem. The scene will be set to link activity to the First Baptist Church of Erwin as the shepherds and angels arrive to see Mary, Joseph, and the wise men with baby Jesus. Spectators and onlookers can join in on the reverent event and follow the holy family to the manger while singing familiar carols along the way.

The Erwin Candlelight Nativity Parade is free and open to the public and will take place on Wednesday, December 21st at 7:00pm. Everyone is encouraged to participate, and we ask that you bring a small white candle from home to fill the street with candlelight. We are looking for hundreds of angels, shepherds and carolers of all ages willing to spread love and light to our entire town. Participants (including church groups) looking to join the parade should please meet at the Erwin Post Office parking lot by no later than 6:15 pm.
