FULL EVENTS CALENDAR

Annual Holiday Parade

We host our annual Holiday Parade on the first Saturday of December every year. This event is a super sweet celebration of our community and the holiday season. This Main Street romp is entering it’s 37th year.

For a long time, our Holiday Parade was managed by dedicated volunteers in partnership with Town Departments. In order to ensure safety and continuity, the Town now oversees every aspect of the parade, relying on a dedicated group of volunteers for planning and day-of support. Please click here if you are interested or able to support day-of needs.

Weaverville’s annual Holiday Parade will take place on Saturday, December 7th, at 11am, kicking off from the SECU parking lot on N. Main Street.

Every parade entry has submitted an online application and fee, and attended a required safety meeting.

All questions can be directed to Sarah Myers, Recreation Coordinator, (828) 658-5816 or smyers@weavervillenc.org
