Local organizations, business or individuals can take this opportunity to decorate a Christmas Tree for all to see on the Courthouse Square.  Spectators will stroll through downtown enjoying hot cocoa & hot apple cider, checking out vendors and activities and admiring all the lights and beautifully decorated trees. Trees will be donated and delivered to families who are struggling this year.  Give the gift of joy this holiday season when you sponsor one of these trees.

Thank you for your interest in the 4th Annual Christmas on the Square parade! This year's theme is “Christmas in the Ozarks”. We're excited to provide our town and visitors with a wonderful Christmas experience, and we're aiming for a diverse parade this year. We'd like to see more floats, special attractions, music, dancers, and animals.

If you're planning to have a car in the parade, it should have some significance and connection to the parade's theme rather than just being an advertisement for a business. For example, consider using a vintage car or a convertible carrying an important figure from our community. Make sure to decorate these cars festively incorporating lights. 

In addition, we will NOT allow candy to be thrown from any moving vehicle or float for the safetly of the kids.  You are welcome to walk and hand out candy or glow in the dark/light up items.

Here's the schedule:

4:30 PM: Lineup on School Avenue.
5:30 PM: The parade starts at Martin Street and ends at Franklin Avenue.
Let's work together to make this Christmas on the Square parade a fantastic celebration. We look forward to your creative contributions and the festive atmosphere you'll help create for our town and its visitors.
