GRAND MARSHALLS: TBA

Due to road work restrictions, we are unable to host our traditional parade route this year.
 
Instead, join us at the Verde Valley Fairgrounds, 11am - 2pm, where we will host an exciting stationary parade featuring your favorite floats displayed for the community to stroll around and visit up close, this is your opportunity to admire the craftsmanship and meet the people behind the scenes.
 
Businesses and groups that prefer not to host a float are welcome to set up a table in the kids' park, where we will also have food vendors and craft vendors. Yavapai Broadcasting will be there to help us show off the holiday spirit and serenade us with the sounds of Christmas. Santa and Mrs. Claus will make an appearance to take photos and visit with the community.
 
We encourage everyone to dress warmly and bring their holiday spirit as we come together to celebrate the season in a new way. We look forward to seeing you there and sharing the joy of the holidays with our wonderful community!
