2026 Christmas Parade Announcement

Officially announcing the 16th Annual Vilonia Christmas Parade! This year's theme is "Christmas Your Way" and we can't wait to see how you bring the theme to life! Remember, the theme is only to give you a starting point, so don't feel restricted and let your imagination be your guide! Decorate your float with the most amazing Christmas you can imagine!

Saturday, December 5th, 2026

Judging starts at 5:00pm and parade starts moving at 5:45pm (not "dusk" this year!)

The parade route (same as last year) starts at the Cemetery Street and Main Street intersection, right (east) onto Main Street, right onto Bise Drive, left onto Loyd Drive, and ends at the Loyd and Eagle Street/Hwy 107 intersection.

Want to light up the night with your own float? Read the rules and regulations and then register online or email us at CityHall@cityofvilonia.org You do NOT have to register in advance. Advance registration simply allows us to better describe your entry while promoting and/or livestreaming the parade. You can always make a last minute decision to join the parade by simply lining up before the parade starts moving!

Registration is free, the parade will be livestreamed on our YouTube Channel, and a video of the livestream added to our website. See past years at www.cityofvilonia.net/parade
