Beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m. on Friday December 4, 2020, the parade will best be viewed by exiting from the expressway on the north side of Town near Grandview and driving south down Main Street toward Amherst County High School and exiting past Ambriar Shopping Center.

Residents and Businesses: We are encouraging residents on the north end of Town and businesses to decorate in a big way this year since they will be on display and awards will be given to best decorated residence and business.

This year's theme is "An Old Fashioned Christmas"

Widely considered one of our area’s most popular holiday spectacles, the annual Christmas parade features colorful floats and entries from local businesses, churches, schools and civic groups, as well as school marching bands and – of course – Santa Claus.
