Jonesborough: Christmas Parade
December 9, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Town of Jonesborough is excited to host the annual lighted nighttime Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 9 at 6 p.m. in downtown Jonesborough.
Folks of all ages will gather along Boone and Main Streets in anticipation of the arrival of floats, bands, classic cars, dancers and Santa Claus as they make their way downtown. This year’s theme is “Spirit of Christmas”.
As one of the only nighttime parades in the area, Jonesborough takes advantage of the beautiful small-town setting in the downtown area as the setting stage for the event.
To register, go to jonesboroughtn.org. Entry deadline is Tuesday, December 5. Incorporation of live music and lights is highly encouraged for all participants.
Cash prizes will be awarded to 4 entries: Eagle Award – $200, Mayor’s Award – $150, Schubert Club Award – $100 and Jonesborough Kiwanis Award – $100. Donations for the Jonesborough Food Pantry are encouraged from participants and can be dropped off at Jonesborough Town Hall, located at 123 Boone Street.
