Join the City of Gainesville for our annual Christmas on Green Street celebration! This magical event includes a parade of antique cars, holiday floats, and marching bands starting at the Gainesville Civic Center and continuing all the way down Green Street!
Before the parade, Green Street will be closed while people visit the historic homes and enjoy musical groups performing on front porches, magicians, face painters, balloon artists, storyteller, jugglers, Santa Claus, miniature train rides, and food trucks. The night will end with the Christmas on Green Street Parade and the traditional Lighting of the Rotary Tree at approximately 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Green Street and West Academy Street!

Parking instructions
Event Parking:
To be honest: It’s tricky! While there are a few parking lots and decks nearby with handicap accessible parking, all of them still require walking a block or two to get to the parade route. With an anticipated 20,000 people in attendance and road closures starting at 12pm, we suggest planning ahead, arriving early, wear good shoes and dress warm! Consider whether you need to be near restrooms, if you have a student performing at a specific house before the parade, if you plan to grab a bite downtown after the parade, etc.
Here are a few parking areas to consider:
North Parking Deck: 100 Brenau Ave NE
Hall County Parking Facility: 225 Green Street SE
Main Street Parking Deck: 301 Main Street SW
