About this Event

Kick off the 2025 holiday season with the 4th annual Manning Family Children's Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 6 at 11 am. Thousands of parade-goers will line the streets of downtown New Orleans where 30 holiday-themed floats, high flying helium balloons, more than a dozen dancing groups and marching bands will kick off the holiday season in New Orleans.


The Manning Family Children's Holiday Parade will begin at the French Market and roll through the French Quarter before turning on Canal Street. The parade continues down Canal Street to O'Keefe Avenue before turning around to head back towards Tchoupitoulas. The parade will ends on Tchoupitoulas and Andrew Higgins.


The Holiday Parade benefits the vital mission of Manning Family Children’s and is made possible thanks to the generous support of local businesses and organizations who want to give back and spread joy throughout our community this holiday season.


Can't make the parade? Tune in to WDSU to watch the live broadcast.
