Jonesborough Christmas Parade
December 14, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Jonesborough Christmas Parade returns to Main Street on December 14
Make plans to be a part of Jonesborough’s Annual Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 14 at 6:00 p.m. in downtown Jonesborough. Continuing with tradition, the parade will take place on the second Saturday in December. This year’s theme is “A Nutcracker Christmas”. Join in on the Christmas fun and celebrate the season in your best Nutcracker style. Folks of all ages will gather along Boone and Main Streets downtown in anticipation of the arrival of nutcracker-themed floats, bands, classic cars, dancers and, of course, Santa Claus as they make their way downtown.
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 stage for the event. Entry deadline is Monday, December 9. Incorporation of live music and lights is highly encouraged for all participants. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top four entries.
What better opportunity to spend time with family and friends than to grab a cup of hot chocolate, throw on mittens and hats, and gather on Main Street in downtown Jonesborough to watch the annual lighted nighttime Christmas Parade.
Parade Application can be found at jbochristmas.com.
If you have any questions about the parade or entry application, please contact Christopher Kudera at chrisk@JonesboroughTN.org.
