Join us Light the Night with Santa and the Holiday Light Parade on Friday, December 1st from 6:30-8:00 pm.

We are asking area businesses, neighborhoods, student groups and service clubs, free of charge, to enter a float in the parade. The main requirements: Your Parade entry should have lights or holiday music, think something festive.

Participation Guidelines
-All entries and walking units MUST BE LIGHTED! We recommend LED necklaces, bracelets or light strings for walkers; although, several glow sticks per person can also be used. Flashing reflector lights pinned on clothing as well as battery operated light packs work well for walkers and participants. Please bring extra batteries as they drain quickly in cold weather.
-You are highly encouraged to incorporate music into your parade entry. Please note that a boom-box will not be heard from your float. You will need additional amplified speakers.
-The "official parade Santa" will be arriving as the last entry; therefore, NO other float may have a Santa Claus on or around it.

Safety Issues
- NO CANDY MAY BE THROWN FROM ANY VEHICLE. This is for safety reasons. We strongly encourage you to have walkers alongside your float handing out candy, coupons or flyers.
- No political or advocacy propaganda is allowed.
- No alcoholic beverages of any kind are allowed in or on the float.

Parade Route: The parade route will go from O’Malley Street down Main Street and to Village Park through the Rotary of Lights. How long the parade takes will depend upon how many entries we receive.

The festivities will continue with singing at the Creche, cookies and hot apple cider. Other activities to kick off the holiday season include the model train set, a fun kids activity and fresh popcorn at the Depot. Some businesses will have extended hours and specials.

If you would like to participate, please fill out the entry form by November 27, 2023. Please email questions to Polly at polly@waunakeechamber.com or call the office at 608-849-5977
