Giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go, let’s follow the snow (hopefully) to the Highlands Christmas Parade, marching down Main Street Highlands on December 6, at 10:00 A.M. Sponsored by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands NC, this parade embodies the Christmas spirit and is the perfect way to usher in the season.
Arrive early to claim a prime viewing spot. You won’t want to miss a moment of this larger-than-life Christmas parade. Our town may be small, but our parade rocks, rolls, and marches with the sights and sounds of the season.
Speaking of marching – what wonders can you expect to see? As in years past, you will be amazed that for such a small town, we take our annual parade seriously. We do indeed bring out our best, finest, most creative, and most impressive for your entertainment.
With over 50 entries you can expect to see a bit of everything-homemade floats lovingly crafted with hours of volunteer labor; animals of all kinds; vintage cars; motorcycles; bagpipers; the Highlands High School Homecoming court, cheerleaders and athletic teams; Smokey the Bear; veteran’s groups; the crowd-pleasing well-rehearsed dancing darlings from the Mountain Garden Club; and so much more. It’ll be a morning to remember.
Of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus wouldn’t miss this event for all the candy canes at the North Pole, so they’ve marked their calendar to be on hand to the delight of young and old.
Ring in the season and warm your hearts with all that is good about small-town America, and join the fun. Don’t forget your camera. You’ll want to capture these memories.
