A message from the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce:
Big news, Rochester! The Holiday Parade has a new route in 2026!
The holiday magic is taking a new path through Rochester this year! Join us for our Christmas in Whoville Holiday Parade on Sunday, December 6th at 4:00 p.m. in
Downtown Rochester as we celebrate the season with festive floats, marching bands, entertainment, and, of course, Santa Claus! A huge thank you to our underwriter, Cambridge Savings Bank.
The parade will begin at the triangle by the R.W. Creteau Regional Technology Center at Spaulding High School, travel south on Wakefield Street, turn at Central Square onto North Main Street, and proceed to Holy Rosary Church, where it will disband in the parking lot behind the church.
In other news, parade entry forms are officially LIVE! Businesses, organizations, community groups, and anyone ready to bring some holiday cheer are invited to sign up to participate at the link below.
It is very important that we get the news out about our new route this year! We want to make sure that everyone is able to view and attend the parade in the correct spots.
Please help us by sharing this post and the new route with your friends and family!
